The San Jose Mercury News ran an article on Saturday about researching an area before deciding where to buy a home. Good advice, which I give to all my buyers.
They also included a list of online resources that should prove helpful.
*Schools: Two excellent sites are: www.greatschools.net and www.ed-data.k12.ca.us.
*Crime: For San Jose crime statistics, go to www.sjpd.org and click on "my neighborhood." For Sunnyvale crime data, go to http://sunnyvale.ca.gov. and look under Departments, Public Safety. (The site also has useful information about permits, recycling and water quality.
*Transportation: The information is at www.sbay.org/transportation-info.html but the best advice is to drive to work from the home you plan to buy during commute hours...a true test of road conditions!
