You can look at the BART lines and maybe pick a suburb city that is decent and commute in that way.
Personally, I would just get something in the city. There's nothing like the city. Some people say you need to make $303,000 a year to buy a median price house there. Totally worth it.

Only 1.5% of households in the U.S. make $303,000/year. Maybe double that percentage if we're talking about SF. By definition, 50% of households live in a house in SF that's worth the median or more.
People who say that have no idea what they're talking about. They're not even close.
