Oakland, California

Just across the bay from San Francisco, Oakland's nearly 400,000 residents enjoy one of the most diverse cities in the country. With over 50 neighborhoods and 150 dialects spoken, it is truly an international city. It is a major port city which has undergone a huge revitalization effort while managing to balance the old and the new with great forethought. You will find public transportation excellent but when you start the search for your Oakland apartment, you will want to think about proximity to both BART and bus lines for convenience sake if you choose not to own a car.

At the Wharf

You will find plenty to see and do in Oakland. Culturally, it is rich in museums such as the Oakland Museum and theatres such as the Paramount. Jack London Square is the old wharf district which is full of interesting shopping and restaurants. Sports fans will be happy with having the Oakland Raiders, the Athletics and the Warriors for professional team watching, and for more personal pursuits the city's parks and trails will provide plenty of places for your own sport. A huge number of annual festivals take place in the parks and streets, and will keep you busy enough that you may forget San Francisco is just across the bridge.

Diverse Cuisines

Once settled into your Oakland apartment, you can start exploring the many cuisines of the city. Downtown, you'll find a number of fine Asian places like Restaurant Peony, Shanghai, and Battambang for Cambodian, while you'll find more Italian in the Grand Lake area. Piedmont Avenue is a gourmet delight, and there you will find Baja Taqueria who serves legendary fish tacos. Fruitvale is Oakland's famous Latino area and none of the restaurants there will be disappointing. The choices in the neighborhoods are endless.

Pat's After Work

Of course, you'll want a neighborhood bar located near your Oakland apartment, and you'll find you have plenty of choices for those as well. In the meanwhile, there are some places not to be missed. For great music, Pat's is famous and one of the best after work bars around. Small and hip is the Radio Bar and the Easy Lounge, where people like to be seen. Cato's Ale House is a wonderful local pub with a small town feel, and it won't take long for Oakland to feel like home. The diversity is yours to explore.
