Making it in the Bay Area can be difficult, especially with the high cost of living and housing. But that cost might be worth it for families in San Jose, according to a new article from the U.S. News and World report, which ranks the city as the second-best place in America for them. The article points to education as the biggest draw for San Jose, with local high school students taking first place in college readiness compared to other major metro areas. The main drawbacks, already familiar to Bay Area residents, are the higher than median home prices and an expensive cost of living.
