Two towns, side by side, before you tell anyone you are moving.

Compare what a house costs, what it taxes, what the commute runs and what the schools look like. Run it as many times as you want. Nobody sees it but you.

What the comparison will not tell you. That half of Walnut Creek is a fifteen minute walk to BART and half is not. Which side of a school boundary you have to be on. Which streets in Livermore get the afternoon wind. Those are the things that decide it, and they are the things a tool cannot hold.

So run it below, then send me the two you narrowed it down to. I will tell you what the numbers leave out, which neighborhoods inside each town actually match what you are describing, and what your money buys in both. If one of the two is outside my market I will say so and connect you with someone who works it.
