Sightseeing
Easy to walk to park near the house. Some corners can be a little rough with homeless folks but they keep to themselves.
Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center
7701 Krause AvenueEasy to walk to park near the house. Some corners can be a little rough with homeless folks but they keep to themselves.
Also very close to the house but you’ll need to drive it’s a steep hill to get there. Best for hiking around in wide open spaces.

City/town information
We are one of the most diverse cities in the United States! There's a lot to see and do, and we're a quick drive or BART ride to San Francisco if you run out of options - but that's doubtful ;)
