I even remember telling my girlfriend, "I could NEVER imagine living here!" Glad you found other areas that are more to your liking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-70049462161570361962010-05-10T09:07:59.590-07:002010-05-10T09:07:59.590-07:00I'm so excited for you guys! A couple of thing...I'm so excited for you guys! A couple of things to consider:<br />*Zach renting something small/cheap for a few months near work while you stay in SJ until you find a place to buy (not ideal but maybe an option)<br />*contact realtors that specialise in that area - often such places are niche markets and your average realtor won't have the "in" - they may know of rentals or of sellers willing to rent, esp if the house has been on the market a long time.<br />*get to know more people there by hanging out at local places....often times rentals are more by word of mouth or local listings (i.e. a sign) rather than listed on any place formal<br /><br />Good luck!Cherisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309835002251352483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-23277731868375078702010-05-10T00:32:58.430-07:002010-05-10T00:32:58.430-07:00yay! I'm glad you found a place you like. And ...yay! I'm glad you found a place you like. And I don't think it is crazy, we did something similar in Calgary (in our case we were lucky to have friends to stay with for a few months instead of the short term rental but same idea). I think you can get a feel for a neighborhood pretty fast and know what you will like/not, plus talking to a few people about the areas. (although it is funny that you heard good things about Roseville, the main thing I know it for is a nice mall I like to go to when I need the full mall experience :) which always seems to have tons of people walking their kids around in it, doesn't seem like your kind of thing<br />Good luck!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869813213951981071noreply@blogger.com
