I wouldn't call them either of those things; they're very nice suburbs on the Peninsula (west side) and less nice suburbs in East Bay. The northeastern ones (Danville, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond) are too far to commute to South Bay from. And none of them are interesting.
There's also public transit up and down the Peninsula but it's very unreliable because the governments here refuse to invest in anything, or build anything, in the hopes it'll make everyone leave again.
