Foster City is a safe, planned waterfront community on the San Francisco Bay with miles of lagoons, parks, bike paths and marinas — great for paddleboarding, running or relaxed evenings and easy to enjoy during multi-week contracts thanks to quiet neighborhoods and plentiful short-term rental options.
You also get quick access to big-city amenities: vibrant San Francisco for culture and nightlife and San Jose for tech, dining and airport access, so weekdays stay work-focused while weekends can alternate between outdoor calm and city variety.
