Below you will find links to information on some of the communities here in the Bay Area we enjoy. Not only can you learn about community activities, you can also find out about building permit requirements, codes, sister cities...all very interesting! If you have any specific questions regarding a community please email me. The utility directory is very helpful for any of you moving as it has all the telephone numbers and addresses for the various companies that turn on & off the water, electricity, cable, etc. for each city. Local schools not only has who to contact but also the test scores for each school.
I'm happy to provide my favorite links and am especially proud of the IRS link, "How to get more from your Take Home Pay after your home purchase". If you have any suggestions on how to make this site more useful, please let me know.
