The Best of the Bay, San Francisco

Snuggled along San Francisco Bay, the Bay Area boasts of one of the best natural bay in the world, that has a total area of about 450 square miles. Home to nearly 8,000,000 folks, the San Francisco Bay Area supplies the only real break in the seaside mountains of California making it one of the most ideal spot for living inside the state. It is split into 6 sub-regions ( North Bay, San Francisco, East Bay, Spur, South Bay, and Santa Cruz ) and composed from ten counties ( Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma ). North Bay is a sub-region north of the Golden Gate Bridge, is divided by water from the rest of the Bay Area. It has countless wealthy communities and is maybe the least urbanized among the six sub-regions.

North Bay has many underdeveloped parks, farmlands, and plantations. One favored location is Napa Valley, which is well known for the world class red wines produced from its vineyards. Inner East Bay, found along the bay's shore, is more urban, very populated, and has a more ethnically various population. Old buildings in the area suggest that it is one of the oldest developed regions. Its development goes back to less than sixty years back and is generally suburban to agricultural.

South Bay is the sub-region where the past mixes well with the present and the future. In 1990, San Jose became the most populated town in the area. Santa Cruz, though regarded by most as a part of Monterey Bay Area, some agencies and records show it as part of San Francisco Bay Area. It is one of the richest regions in the US. Of the 280 urban areas across the nation, the Bay Area has the highest median household earnings with $62,024. 6 of the top 10 places in California with the highest per capita revenue may be found in the Bay Area. These figures are a testament of the limitless opportunities to be had for the voters living in the area. With its idyllic setting and mild climate, living in the Bay Area is an investment that you can not ever be wrong about.
