I just posted this elsewhere in this thread: Median home prices in Palo Alto are 2.48M compared to 1.43M in Mountain View or 1.39M in Sunnyvale[1].
While public schools in Palo Alto are btter, you have the option of private schools in MV/Sunnyvale (which are better than public schools in PA) for 20-25K/year, which still comes out to ~300K per child.
And commute time to {Google, Facebook, Apple, San Francisco, etc} is similar from these 3 suburbs - I don't think PA is any better, especially when you consider the possibility of moving around various companies in the bay area.
