228 Harrison St, Oakland, CA 94607

"Pricey but very a good neighborhood to live. Dog friendly, close to transportation and downtown Oakland "

"Commuting is pretty easy - Close to 880 and 580 and close to Lake Merritt BART and Broadway shuttle to 12th St BART "

"The Produce & Waterfront neighborhood is blessed with access to both easy public transportation as well as highway access. It is a 10-minute walk to BART, and there is a free shuttle bus that runs along the Broadway corridor to get to BART as well. The ferry to Alameda and San Francisco is within walking distance. But if you need to drive, you can jump right on the highway and drive to San Francisco or San Jose/Peninsula area very easily."

"I lived in this area for about 6 months while I transitioned to The Bay from the Midwest. Near Jack London Square, the area had some interesting shops and decent restaurant options. Exciting bars or nightlife choices are a little further away. There's a diverse group of people living in the neighborhood and most people are quite friendly. There's homeless that set up on the sidewalks from time to time and you will encounter larger homeless communities in the area as well. I lived close to an Amtrak and frieght rail line that could be very loud at all hours of the night so I had trouble sleeping and never completely got used to the sound of the horns. Overall, I thought the area was nice relative to the rest of Oakland, but it wasn't as nice or as alive as I had hoped which prompted me to move to SF."
