Whether you’re looking to relocate, invest, or upgrade, this is the BEST vlog series to learn about top Bay Area communities — from schools and homes to dining, lifestyle, and commute access.

This week, we’re touring Newark — a small but strategically located city near Meta, Tesla, and Stanford. Known for its suburban feel, diverse food scene, and family-friendly neighborhoods, Newark is becoming one of the Bay Area’s most realistic entry points for first-time homebuyers and growing families.

🎡 The iconic Cambrian Park Plaza carousel sign is here to stay — and the newly approved Cambrian Village development is about to transform this neighborhood with hundreds of homes, shops, and walkable green space.

You’ll also find:

• Local food favorites like Tu Mero Mole, Rangoli Indian Cuisine, and Pappa Georggeo Pizza

• Hidden gems like Pump It Up San Jose and the legendary Haunted House on Church Drive

• Condos with too many amenities = higher long-term costs

• Reserve studies — what they are, and why they matter

• HOA restrictions that limit rentals or Airbnb
