What I want to know are which cities are great seasonal cities in which I could potentially buy a condo for the high seasons, and then leave in the non-high seasons for a potential rental at a still competitive price.

Actual SF, or surrounding areas? I would think SF is fairly nice in the summer with the ocean breeze. Sonoma county gets pretty warm in the summer as well, but SF proper always felt cooler to me. I can imagine San Jose being just as bad or worse though.

#13So much of it is subjective. But assuming you throw out having seasons--especially snowy seasons--and desire for year-round humid or dry heat--the answer probably comes down to some variation of a Mediterranean climate with assorted perturbations. Though that doesn't really match up with the results.

Summer in the PNW is no good - it's sunny every day for months straight! It's terrible!

I'll take those 8 months of drizzle, take the sun away thanks!

#19San Diego and some of Tijuana are just about unbeatable IMO. Any other weather that isn't perfectly sunny is only a short drive away if you so feel the need... the only thing I've ever missed from the MidWest is a few good thunderstorms a year, but even those don't seem to happen as much as it at least seemed to when I was much younger.
