    "I love living near the greenway and Emeryville is a great little spot. It’s close to everything and easy to get to SF or Marin. Compared to Oakland, the roads and parks are really well maintained; feels much safer than immediate surroundings in neighboring Oakland and Berkeley. "

    "Lots of dogs in the area. Fairly responsible about picking up after themselves. Lots of foxtails (a weed that can harm dogs if they make their way into a dog’s body) in the area. One or two dog parks in the area, but ideal if you can have your own yard around here to have your own safe space to play. There are a number of great dog walkers and pet services in the area that cater to dog care. "

    "There are a several schools in the area. There are several well maintained open spaces to play and exercise. Kids are not usually running/biking/etc around in the residential streets together unattended after school or during the summer, that I have noticed."

  • Trulia User
    "Dog owners should be aware of the very high amount of dangerous foxtail plant, which can cause significant (and very expensive and possibly deadly) damage if they penetrate your dog’s paws, mouth, nose, ears, etc. Also depending on the street, some areas have more trash than others. There aren’t a ton of great spots to exercise your dogs, if you don’t have any yard. It’s not unfriendly for dogs, but it’s not overwhelmingly welcoming either. "

    "There are some great green spaces, including a small park for younger kids. There are a ton of food options but most of them are for more expanded food palates (though that is changing). Streets are pretty busy and a train runs through the center of the city. It’s great for keeping young ones entertained, not great for keeping the youngest asleep."
