Product Description
The fourth edition is extensively updated and revised for 2010 and continues its strong focus on both San Francisco and the entire region, especially Silicon Valley. Of the 189 pages devoted exclusively to discussion of neighborhoods and communities, 50% describe San Francisco neighborhoods and North Bay communities, while 50% focus on the East Bay, Peninsula, and South Bay towns. From Santa Rosa to San Francisco to Vallejo, from Walnut Creek to Oakland to Newark, and from San Bruno to San Jose to Los Gatos, this Newcomer's Handbook, written by Scott van Velsor, provides its readers with the most up-to-date information on housing styles, costs, and trends; redevelopment; and all the other niceties of Bay Area life, including education and childcare, transportation, cultural life, and much more.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Book For Relocators That Non-Relocators Can Enjoy   November 25, 2009

THE NEWCOMER'S HANDBOOK FOR MOVING TO AND LIVING IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA is a great guide to San Francisco and its environs that has been completely update for 2010. The radio station list is totally new, reflecting the changes that have happened since the book was last published, and there is also a detailed discussion of every town and region in the area. This book discusses all the moving, dining, house-hunting, shopping, nightlife, sports teams, outdoor things, educational opportunities, and renting and home-buying issues that people moving to the area need to know about, in order to make the move a smooth one. However, anyone even remotely interested in the West Coast will find this book indispensible.
