Long-time lecturer looking for apartment/cottage

My fiancee and I are looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment or cottage located anywhere between San Mateo and Sunnyvale. I am a Bay Area native and long-time lecturer at Stanford. My fiancee works for an educational non-profit in the City. We are responsible, mature adults with stable careers and strong ties to the area. We would like to move in the end of June or early July, but could delay until August or September if necessary.
