A Bay Area locale on the rise, West Oakland is poised to be one of the most popular Oakland neighborhoods for its relatively affordable rentals and proximity to public transit. West Oakland is tucked into the area formed by Interstate 880, 980, and 580 complex just across the bay from San Francisco. Oakland’s recent swell in popularity has made West Oakland a common spot for the commuting crowd outside of the Golden Gate City. You’ll find a few parks and plenty of coffee shops and trendy restaurants just off the industrial areas that line the bay.
Modern apartment rentals in mid-rise buildings and charming homes in long-standing houses showcase the contrast of this Bay Area neighborhood. Commuting into San Francisco takes just 15 minutes via car, or 20 via BART, the Bay Area’s public transportation system.
