This is awesome thank u ladies

I grew up in Oakland, but it's changed quite a bit since I moved. Montclair and the Oakland Hills are the nicest areas, but very expensive. Rockridge is an awesome neighborhood and slightly less expensive. The Lake Merritt area has gotten a lot nicer in recent years. Piedmont is technically not part of Oakland, but is also a super cute area and still pretty centrally located. Other areas might be nicer now than when I was there, as well, but those were my favorite parts. Hope that helps!

Ah k thank u

Thats east Oakland - I'd go check it out some neighborhoods are better/quiter and no so ghetto than others

Everything is super close even with having a car I would usually walk to most places & if you don't have a car Bart is like every other block. Lake merrit is close to downtown Oakland As well. They basically merge, then on the other side is Piedmont - going into ememryville

@ukrainian, Ive only been gone about 3 years but I still go often my boyfriend works in the area still

I would avoid east and deep west Oakland 🙊 lake Merritt area has so many shops and markets etc around

How close where the shops? And what years did u live there ?

I used to live in the lake Merritt area i loved it a lot
