What Locals Say about Oakland Avenue/Harrison Street

  • Strifeanddiscord
    "this neighborhood has quite a lot that's in walking distance. lots of people are all out exercising or walking their dogs most of the time. it's mostly fairly quiet, except for that freeway noise. with only a 15 minute walk to downtown it has a City feel but also a neighborhood feel at the same time"

  • April T.
    "When driving, I can quickly get to a freeway within 2 to 8 minutes depending on which I take. When taking Uber or Lyft to BART, the pick ups are always under a 4 minute wait and I get to BART within 4-6 minutes depending on traffic."

    "It’s near a freeway and people tend to drive quickly coming off of the freeway so that’s not particularly safe. "

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 11 years and it's a great little spot. The neighbors are friendly, there is a neighborhood group called Harri-Oak, that meets to discuss issues and keep us all united. The neighborhood has a lot of dogs, some kids coming in. There is a good mix of families, older folks & the younger set. All the oak trees lining my street on Kempton are awesome, the corner park has quite a few kid parties and gatherings lately. It's a great little neighborhood. "

    "Amazingly walkable to transportation, groceries, and restaurants plus lovely Lake Merritt which is best enjoyed during the day. Very hip. Fairly safe but you need covered parking, cars do get broken into. "

  • Ray
    "There is still quite a bit of crime in this area, unfortunately. Walking distance to downtown is not short; at night, it is very risky to walk. If you live anywhere in the East Bay, you definitely need a car."

    "Nothing really, it’s kinda just a typical gentrified neighborhood. In a few months it should be a little nicer with a SoulCycle or something of the sort."

  • Symon C.
    "Myself and my parents used to live here. It is a short walk to the lake, and 14 minutes walk to the 19th Street BART station. You can also take 51A bus to and from the BART station. 51A bus also go to UC campus. On the weekend, you can take FREE Broadway shuttle to Oakland downtown and BART for Restaurants, Shopping, Entertainment & Nightlife. Easy freeway access to I-580, I-80, Hwy 24, and I-980, and only 10 miles to San Francisco downtown from I-80."
