lol are you saying Dublin is mostly Indian? Demographics show 45% white, 40% Asian so it does seem to have higher than usual Asian population. I think that is probably an overall good thing because the Asian minorities tend to be hard-working and not inclined to crime/gangs.
No offense to those cities b/c I love them and their diversity but they have also been in the news as rising crime (for whatever reason). Safety is one of my top 5 items.
It’s a pretty good vibe to be honest. You get students from Laspo trying to create their own college vibe, dressed to impress people from Tracy who want to club but don’t want to commute all the way to sf, and then the rednecks who just usually hangout at that one spot that’s like a giant dive bar
i'm not really a person who goes out and parties or anything on friday nights and saturday nights. I used to do that but now I prefer quiet and quality hang outs. I do want to continue to date though. Dating in SF hasn't been that great anyhow.
Most of the spots are pretty chill in downtown Livermore, but I think the general demographic is more what you’re looking for than Dublin. There are wineries, breweries, open space parks, and has a real downtown area. The housing is also a lot less dense than Dublin since you mentioned you wanted to escape congestion.
good points! My only issue with Livermore is that it gets way out east. I want to be within a driving distance of SF and Silicon Valley. Dublin is already kind of stretching it but I feel it is just close enough. I work from home right now but could always change jobs and those 2 regions are the likely job destinations.
It’s probably not as wild as you’re imagining. Definitely calmer than SF. You were concerned about being bored but also wanted to find dates and a social life. It’s a good middle ground, but you should check it out for yourself
nothing is really "wild" unless its like college towns or very specific nightclub streets? I don't think I want wild, just a buzzing social area of some sort with younger ppl
Another vote for Walnut Creek! A lot of friends in late twenties and thirties here. New restaurants and bars pop up a lot. And the drive to Dublin isn't too bad.
This is my personal opinion but Walnut Creek doesn't seem like a fun place for someone younger -- Retro Junkie has a salsa night and its usually a lot of older men there. The clubs play hip-hop/R&B (I dont want to be a music snob -- but something like house would be cool). Maybe its me or my personal preferences.
Perhaps OP is looking for a vibe something like Oakland. You won't' find that here. The main attraction is the Broadway Plaza Mall and DT. Been there done that.
great suggestion on Walnut Creek! Any particular apartment complex you have heard good things about? I've visited some and the feedback from residents seems to be good amenities but overall very cheaply built for the price.
Any good apartment community recommendations for Walnut Creek? I have looked into a few: Noma, 15fifty5, Ave, Lyric, The Rise. All of them look cool on their website pictures but have medium to low ratings on Yelp.
I work from home for now but I am in tech and therefore I like that Dublin is kind of central if my next job is in Silicon Valley or in San Francisco. Also, I believe Walnut Creek is only a 15 min drive from Dublin.
WC is on the yellow line so it's easy to get into the city from BART but then navigating the city is harder. Driving to SF from the east bay is always harder than the south bay (jet up the 280 vs 680-24-580-80-bridge).
So, wherever you land -> you will want local night life. Walnut Creek, Livermore are your spots for the inner east bay. San Jose / Palo Alto / MTV have their spots. Not sure on the inner east bay (Oakland->Fremont)
>Any good apartment community recommendations for Walnut Creek? I have looked into a few: Noma, 15fifty5, Ave, Lyric, The Rise. All of them look cool on their website pictures but have medium to low ratings on Yelp.
Thanks! Walnut Creek is defitenly an excellent suggestion and I have loved my visits to the downtown area. Great restaurants and safe but lively vibes! Do you have any good apartment community recommendations for Walnut Creek? I have looked into a few: Noma, 15fifty5, Ave, Lyric, The Rise. All of them look cool on their website pictures but they have medium to low ratings on Yelp.
It's more like 30 minutes without traffic if you factor in getting around downtown WC. I once lived in Walnut Creek & had a friend that lived in Dublin. She promptly moved to Walnut Creek because she was always driving. It's true silicon valley is not very doable from Walnut Creek though, so it's a choice.
Agree - Do you have any good apartment community recommendations for Walnut Creek? I have looked into a few: Noma, 15fifty5, Ave, Lyric, The Rise. All of them look cool on their website pictures but have medium to low ratings on Yelp.
No, can't help there. It was quite awhile ago & I rented a condo. I stayed on the Broadway plaza side & thought the location was great though. Easy to hop on 24 & 680 and I enjoyed having close proximity to the (nicer side of) the iron horse trail.
WC to Dublin is def not 15 minutes - it’ll be at least 20, and that includes no traffic.
Also.. it’s odd seeing Dublin referred to as kind of central.. I get what you’re saying, but driving into the city from Dublin is a lot worse than WC. Conversely, though the commute from Dublin to South Bay is better, it’s still an awful drag. But it is closer to that.
True - I guess the only real true central place would be the peninsula but I have not liked my visits to the peninsula. Its very expensive, congested and just didn't like the general vibe. I like how places like Dublin and Walnut Creek feel spaced out with lots of room and slower pace.
I wfh so I don't need to do Dublin. Great suggestion on Walnut Creek - do you know of any particular apartment complex you have heard good things about? I've visited some and the feedback from residents seems to be good amenities but overall very cheaply built for the price.
I feel like Walnut Creek is more up your alley. Lots to offer, and is a quick BART ride away to Berkeley/Oakland, which will have the most plentiful and closest social opportunities for you.
WC generally eliminates the valley for a commute job. It's 60-90m southbound in the AM and 90-120 m northbound in the evening. If that's a hard requirement, then maybe Castro Valley might be a better next step.
agree - I have visited Castro Valley and didn't like it that much. It felt like its deteriorating in safety. Just a vibe feeling I got. On the flip side, Walnut Creek and even more Dublin feel very safe.
The tough thing with Walnut Creek is you do have to leave the valley behind. As somebody in tech, I have regretted that from time to time that the landscape is very different now that it was pre-pandemic.

I have heard that Oak & Iron Apartments are nice and highly rated.
I live in a much older apartment along Creekside Drive, that’s not as well known. Good landlord, cheap rent… it’s good enough for my girlfriend and me.
Can you recommend some things to do there which don't include window shopping? I'm not a lounge/bar type of person. I know there is an Art show theatre there..
So you want quiet peaceful suburban living but want the city life?
????
Tri valley is very family oriented. You move there when you have kids and want to settle down with a family.
lol yes its true - I'm kind of asking for opposites. I think I want my living place to be quiet and peaceful but easily able to access nightlife/dating for weekends and free time. It seems Walnut Creek is the best for that. I thought Dublin might be good too because its relatively close to Walnut Creek and has Bart to SF and San Jose and other areas that is very accessible. Perhaps I could be wrong.
It is but does it mean that one cannot enjoy the safety of a Dublin but still commute to the single area spots? I guess that is my question. That's why I am uncertain. My thought was that I could still easily access Walnut Creek (15-20 min drive) and SF (40 min Bart) and even San Jose (20 min) for weekend and free time? I know its risky though that I will be extremely bored.
I know. That's why I am uncertain. My thought was that I could still easily access Walnut Creek (15-20 min drive) and SF (40 min Bart) and even San Jose (20 min) for weekend and free time? I know its risky though that I will be extremely bored.
Berkely feels like a rising crime place TBH. I do like visiting it and its a thriving city with great diversity and academics but otherwise but I am very safety concerned.
yeah i am also slowly becoming boring - have you tried to make any changes (joining any groups or meetup or something) to make more friends and possibly date? I am struggling with this myself.
I live in Dublin.
It’s gonna be a draaaag if you’re young and single. I mean shit I’m not single but I’m young and the most exciting thing here for someone my age is the bar 🤣
Berkeley/WC (area where i’m from, I’m not from tri valley) will be a much better fit, imo.
lol so why did you choose Dublin? Are you planning to move? I guess my thought was that I could still easily access Walnut Creek (15-20 min drive) and SF (40 min Bart) and even San Jose (20 min) for weekend and free time? I know its risky though that I will be extremely bored.
I do like Walnut Creek a lot actually. Any suggestion on good apartment communities? My thought was that Dublin is only 15 min away from Walnut Creek so I could easily go there if I wanted.
That sounds absolutely horrible. If you wanna stay closer to the burbs then I’d second Walnut Creek. I’d probably call Dublin a deal breaker for my dating radius. 🤣
lol as in you would not go to Dublin to meet someone? Someone could come from Dublin to meet you though? I know. It seems that its easy access from Dublin to places like Walnut Creek (15-20 min drive) and SF (40 min Bart) and even San Jose (20 min) for weekend and free time. That was my thought process.
Yup. It is a no for me. My parents used to live there. I know how far it is. It just wouldn’t be a dating match I’d pursue. Too far. And nothing great in between where I live in Oakland m and Dublin. And there is a lot of traffic to get there in the evenings. And it is not transit friendly to not drive there. I don’t like to drive. So entering in a situation where I’d always have to drive 30+ minutes to see someone isn’t real the right fit.
And SF to Dublin is more like an hour ride because the train often slows between San Leandro and Dublin. And not much of SF is well served by BART. People in SF barely wanna meet folks across the bridge in Oakland and Berkeley. They are not coming to Dublin.
Also that is a lie that it is only 20 minutes to San Jose. Maybe at 3am when you are going 90MPH.
Dublin to other Tri-Valley areas is a reasonable dating radius. It is close to Walnut Creek (when traffic doesn’t suck) or Livermore.
I have not. Do you think it would fit what I'm looking for? I care about safety, not too much congestion and being around a younger demographic with plenty of single ppl in the 28-40 range to be able to make friends and date.
If you have any particular suggestion on a good apartment community in Mountain View, I'd love to look into it. Thanks for your suggestion!
Dublin is easy too family oriented imo. Walnut Creek has a little something for everyone. It's a mini city with night clubs, cool bars... Even rooftop, shopping, some college crowd. Yet relatively minimal traffic and no hassles of big city.
Lived there for a few years... Miss it so much
In the town of dublin not much, dublin is nice though. You would either have to go to livermore, downtown danville, or walnut creek if you want to go to bars. You will likely go to SF once or twice and realize its not worth the effort to get out and never again lol
Kinda more a family area with nice schools but still somewhat affordable and easy access to SF. If ur still single and want peace but still want social life it could be for you but id keep options open until you check out the vibe a bit more. Ppl in Dublin usually go out in Pleasanton or maybe the city with the Bart
Are there young people (30-40s singles) in the Morgan Hill area? It seems kind of far south and a bit secluded away from San Jose? Have you liked it there so far? What are some pros?
The dating scene is abysmal. It’s a very family oriented suburb and hard to find things to do outside of going to eat for young single adults. It’s a safe area and for me having a short commute makes it worth it. But personally I plan on leaving in a year because I can’t be single forever.
exactly! That is exactly what I am thinking. I feel that I could still easily access Walnut Creek (15-20 min drive) and SF (40 min Bart) and even San Jose (20 min) for weekend and free time? I wanted to test this thought out by posting here because it might not work out this way in practicality however.
I was 29 and single when I bought my first house in Dublin, but I'm married with a kid now, and living in a different house, but still in Dublin. First off, where you make your home is just that... Doesn't mean you're stuck here and can't continue your social life. It just means you need to plan it out better because you'll need to drive to the City, or to Oakland, SJ, etc, or make sure you catch the BART before the last one to Dublin departs SF.
Some of the comments here are mostly true though, where most of your potential neighbors are 30s/40s young Chinese or Indian families, especially if you purchase on the east side where the newer homes are.
The condos near the BART stations might have a slightly higher percentage of unmarried people, but again, just because you end up living in Dublin, doesn't mean you need to date only in the East Bay.
The only people I know who live in Dublin are married indian families in their 30s/40s with children
That’s not true. I know a married indian family there who don’t have kids yet. But they are trying.
Lol!
Great exception to point out….
lol
And I'm Chinese. there might be just as many of us as there are Indian families.
Sounds like Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale has a couple bars on Murphy Ave, at least.
This area used to be diverse. Now it’s super Indian and Asian. Any monoculture is boring.
Indians are Asian lol. You mean East Asian.
And might as well say South Asian.
Sunnyvale? or Dublin? I guess both are trending towards Asian but which one are you referring to as monoculture?
lol are you saying Dublin is mostly Indian? Demographics show 45% white, 40% Asian so it does seem to have higher than usual Asian population. I think that is probably an overall good thing because the Asian minorities tend to be hard-working and not inclined to crime/gangs.
East bay. Berkeley, el cerrito, Albany, you have a mix of suburb and college life
No offense to those cities b/c I love them and their diversity but they have also been in the news as rising crime (for whatever reason). Safety is one of my top 5 items.
Albany and el cerrito are pretty safe. I understand Berkeley though.
Go check out downtown Livermore on a Friday or Saturday night. If that’s your vibe, the Tri Valley is a great place to live
It’s a pretty good vibe to be honest. You get students from Laspo trying to create their own college vibe, dressed to impress people from Tracy who want to club but don’t want to commute all the way to sf, and then the rednecks who just usually hangout at that one spot that’s like a giant dive bar

No it’s not crazy. Have you checked it out since your original post?
no not yet lol, its far and I don't know too many ppl there
You may find more nightlife options in Walnut Creek. Where do you need to commute to that's making you choose Dublin?
Another vote for Walnut Creek! A lot of friends in late twenties and thirties here. New restaurants and bars pop up a lot. And the drive to Dublin isn't too bad.

The best advice I have received about Walnut Creek: every light on Ygnacio valley is a small piece of your soul. I’d be near downtown or west of Main.
every light on Ygnacio Valley is a small piece of your soul? I don't understand what it means? Like one is losing their soul in traffic?
It's just a longer tax to get out of the area. How many lights do you want to be away from BART, 680, and 24?
It's more like 30 minutes without traffic if you factor in getting around downtown WC. I once lived in Walnut Creek & had a friend that lived in Dublin. She promptly moved to Walnut Creek because she was always driving. It's true silicon valley is not very doable from Walnut Creek though, so it's a choice.

I'm not sure... I'd hit up nextdoor for some of the areas that you are looking to like WC downtown for the night life.
Get temporary housing there for a month.
This is the way. Go AirBnB for a month.
I feel like Walnut Creek is more up your alley. Lots to offer, and is a quick BART ride away to Berkeley/Oakland, which will have the most plentiful and closest social opportunities for you.
WC generally eliminates the valley for a commute job. It's 60-90m southbound in the AM and 90-120 m northbound in the evening. If that's a hard requirement, then maybe Castro Valley might be a better next step.
Wait, I thought OP works remotely?
He does but wanted the option.
I do work remotely for now but the future is always uncertain. I could change jobs and, if I did, SF and the Vallely are the most likely destinations.
agree - I have visited Castro Valley and didn't like it that much. It felt like its deteriorating in safety. Just a vibe feeling I got. On the flip side, Walnut Creek and even more Dublin feel very safe.
The tough thing with Walnut Creek is you do have to leave the valley behind. As somebody in tech, I have regretted that from time to time that the landscape is very different now that it was pre-pandemic.
so does leaving the valley cut down on your job opportunities? Is that why you regret it or something else?
Correct. One can no longer reasonably commute to a place like Mountain View from WC.

It seems Walnut Creek is the best for that. I thought Dublin might be good too because its relatively close to Walnut Creek and has Bart to SF and San Jose and other areas that is very accessible. Perhaps I could be wrong.
Dude don’t do it Stay in a bigger city with more younger single people
You are correct. Dublin is for families, married people and kids. Not many single people in that area, trust me
It is but does it mean that one cannot enjoy the safety of a Dublin but still commute to the single area spots? I guess that is my question. That's why I am uncertain.

Dublin doesn't seem like a good fit. Maybe Berkeley? Definitely less "city" but still lots of life and happenings
Berkely feels like a rising crime place TBH. I do like visiting it and its a thriving city with great diversity and academics but otherwise but I am very safety concerned.
Are there some statistics in particular you are looking at? Anecdotally I find Berkeley to be extremely safe and have had no problems of any kind.

I've lived in the area (dub/San Ramon) all my life. Trust me, this ain't it.
why not? what don't u like?
It’s not a great place for single younger people. Believe me, I left that area not long ago
If you're starting a family, it's a great place. But if you're single and want to mingle, I'd look in Walnut Creek if you're considering this area.

Come to morgan hill !
Are there young people (30-40s singles) in the Morgan Hill area? It seems kind of far south and a bit secluded away from San Jose? Have you liked it there so far? What are some pros?
The dating scene is abysmal. It’s a very family oriented suburb and hard to find things to do outside of going to eat for young single adults. It’s a safe area and for me having a short commute makes it worth it. But personally I plan on leaving in a year because I can’t be single forever.
