Probably the most popular neighborhood to rent in, and really only mom and pop rentals available. Add in rent control and you just don't have a lot of availability in Rockridge. Let me know if you have questions.

Born and raised and live on 64th below Avenal, and it is really bad here with crime. Our house was broken into twice and got our motorhome in the driveway stolen and found in Richmond all gutted out. My family ran the Fairfax Theater who closed it back in the late 60's because of crime, and became a church. Oakland is a beautiful city, but it sure has problems. The house next door just sold for $525,000 and had bullet holes in the front window. Maybe one of these decades it will turn around.

Thanks for watching! People's experiences with Oakland schools can vary dramatically depending on the school and your child's needs. I always encourage people to do research on the specific school and special programs offered by the district. I probably won't be able to do video specifically on school for a couple of reasons: 1) I'm not an expert on education and don't want to steer people wrong on this service; 2) Because I'm a licensed real estate agent, I have to be wary of giving information that may steer people. Saying "these are the good schools and these are the bad ones" isn't something I can do. If you have any questions, drop me a text at 925.386.2999.

I'm a Oakland native 1954..when I was growing up the North Oakland library was across the streets from the California Hotel. Later on it moved between 32nd and 31st on San Pablo. The Car wash is still there. We even had a pool at our Y on Brockhurst and Market. Oakland was great..it went down when those Panthers started that breakfast program at the church on 27th and West St. Away went our Safeway..danger entered our neighborhood. We were on 31st and Market. Thank God our Dad died. VA and Social security. Mom bought a fat house by Mosswood park. 416 37th street. MB Mall Mayfair Movie Theatre a mixed neighborhood with families. I lived on East 7th when I was a infant.. beautiful and I have photos. My kids at 541 Chetwood. I bought my home in Durant Manor behind Durant Square. It was GM parts plant and decent. Too many illegals and crack. My Mom home is close to a million. I reside in Stockton in new home in a nice neighborhood. I visit my town and I love it but it's scary.

But black people are in the neighborhoods of Bushrod, Golden Gate, North Pole(near the border), Mosswood, Santa Fe, and Temescal. And West Oakland you have certain areas of Dogtown, Ghost town and Lower Bottoms. A lot has been cleaned up in the last decade with rehabbing the neighborhoods. And shootings happen all over Oakland that goes for the the White neighborhoods too.
