Oakland
Oakland is a large and diverse city and has many different neighborhoods but we wanted to highlight a few that are commonly talked about and could help in a real estate search.
Lake Merritt & Adams PointThe neighborhoods surrounding Lake Merritt are extremely vibrant and hip. In the last five years the area has seen many new restaurants and stores move in. Most famously characterized but the lake itself, many people enjoy walking the 3-mile path circumnavigating the water. There are many condos and apartments that surround the lake and offer great views of the water. Nestled in between the condos you might find older craftsman style single family homes that are generally gems.

Situated next to the extremely popular Rockridge, this area began as a “next best thing” and with the influx of residents has come amazing new stores and restaurants that have made it unique and cool in its own right.
