Exactly. I could easily afford living in River Oaks for a third of the price as in SF or the Valley. With much higher quality.

It's definitely not a third of the price. There are definitely parts of the Bay Area that are more expensive, but certainly not every part. It's pretty close to Menlo Park in affordability or lack thereof. Property taxes are also 2x or more what they are in the Bay Area so you may be overestimating your purchasing power.
