San Lorenzo is a typical suburb. It's right in the middle of several larger cities such as San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. Public schools from Kindergarten - 12th grade are very diverse, however, the quality is average. San Lorenzo is fairly safe-- crime is not very typical in this area. The majority of this city is inhabited by families and older people, therefore the nightlife is nearly nonexistent. Real estate has skyrocketed recently, homes selling for almost $1 million. All in all, San Lorenzo is a pretty average suburb, good for the average family looking for an average home.
San Lorenzo definitely has its ups and downs. There are parts of San Lorenzo/ San Leandro that have a lot of criminal activity and crimes taking place, but that is bound to happen anywhere. It is a place full of diversity, but sadly, not a lot of people praise that. There is a lot of selfishness, negativity and overall people just being mean all the time. I guess that is just the Bay Area. Housing is ridiculously priced and the economy is not helping by any means. Things are becoming more expensive, jobs are not paying very well and I know a lot of people here are trying their best to make ends meet. Hopefully, when I become an independent adult, things will become safer and easier in different ways.
I have lived in San Lorenzo my whole life.They have great schools here, whether public or private schools. This little city is very safe, in which nothing crazy ever really happens. I like this community because of its diversity and its location. It is in the middle of the bay, nearly the halfway points for all locations on the east side, like from the north of Alameda and Oakland to the south of San Jose. It is also a halfway point from going inwards of Dublin and Pleasanton. I feel it is safe out here, being allowed to walk to any location of the city without anything happening on a regular average day.
