Published by Business Insider on Thu, 05 Oct 2017


Lots of peopleworking in Silicon Valley can't afford to buy a homethere.As a housing shortage in the San Francisco Bay Area continues to drive prices sky-high, some homebuyers are turning their attention to a micro-neighborhoodcalled Serralocatedbetween theheadquarters of Google and Apple.
