Oakland Neighborhoods
Downtown Oakland
Do you like surprises? Go to Downtown Oakland, and you’ll get plenty: you never know who you’ll bump into at the heart of this city. As diverse as it is, Downtown offers a bit of everything, from the students to engineers, and from social activists to Federal judges. Skim through the apartments in this area for rent, and be able to mingle with the locals in Oaklandish, or marvel at the Art Deco of its architecture, and the Gothic Revival of the Cathedral Building and the Tribune Tower.
Bushrod Park
An area around the park, this neighborhood is one of the greenest in Oakland. It’s quiet and family-friendly and gives you the relaxing feeling of a forest inside the big city. Houses for rent are gradually growing in prices together with the popularity of the area, so don’t lose your chance, especially if you are planning to have a family soon.
Golden Gate
An entertainment district initially, Golden Gate of Oakland grew up to become the majority of African American, the focus that is still predominant in the area. It didn’t lose its way of having fun, though, despite the rough history: bars, restaurants, and also Golden Gate Shopping District are the American Dream come true. And of course, getting a loft in a high-rise for rent with one of the greatest views in Oakland is just something you cannot refuse!
Temescal
As Oakland is the hip of the US, Temescal is the hip of Oakland. The neighborhood has a history dating back to 1870s but attracts the younger residents with its Victorian duplexes and pre-war bungalows for rent. If you live in today and prefer tomorrow to yesterday, try walking down one of Temescal streets: you’ll find there’s a lot to set your Gen Y on fire.
Montclair
If you have a family or prefer nature to urban landscapes, make a choice in favor of Montclair cottages for rent. The residents here are wealthier, and this influenced this Oakland neighborhood: pedestrian-friendly streets will take you through the forest scenery to the many tennis clubs, as well as a bit further, to the Oakland hiking opportunities of the Joaquin Miller and Redwood Regional Parks.
West Oakland
Heard of Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, and Big Mama Thornton? West Oakland was their gig just along the 7th Street strip, and no wonder: this Oakland neighborhood has a distinct fleur of African Americans that earned it the ‘Harlem of the West’ nickname. Check out the apartments for rent in one of the brick warehouses of West Oakland, the area of civic pride, vibrant street art, and unique cuisine like po’-mi sandwich.
Rockridge
Settle down in one of the early 20th-century bungalow for rent with a nice garden. Explore the Oakland neighborhood that is famous for its home goods, indie bookstores, vintage and eco stores. If you like burgers, we advise you to try out Wood Tavern, best in Oakland!
Fruitvale
An ex-area of fruit gardens, Fruitvale today is the preserve of Chicano culture as over half the population is Mexican Americans. Visit Fruitvale Public Market or one of the many Mexican bakeries to feel the unique vibrant vibe of the area. Places for rent in this neighborhood of Oakland come in the form of bungalows from the 1920s and Mission Revival houses.
