"My neighborhood has excellent access to major freeways which connect to downtown Oakland and San Francisco. It is located within walking distance to the Bay trail with a gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are so many dining options to enjoy a variety of cuisines. "

"Because this area is populated by students from around the world it is a pretty good place fir children to grow exposed to more cultures. But as this. Of course selects for families who are economically and geopolitically capable of attending an elite institution- the diversity is shallow. It has lately due to institutional policy changes become less family friendly and more young, dog owning couples that dint respect the commons. "

"Good neighborhood with good schools for children in walking distance. Older homes lacking minimum amenities in the modern days like dish washers."

"The number of families connected to UCB which used to bring welcome economic and cultural diversity is dropping as UCB housing authorities have apparently decided that the revenue generated from undergraduates with ‘service’ pets is better than the revenue generated from non-traditional students. So the flavor of the neighborhood has changed in the last 5 years "

"I have lived here for 5 years. Specifically in the uc village a community primarily for housing uc students. Once it was a great place for students with children. in the last few years it has become increasingly used by young childless singles with pampered dogs. I am disappointed as this has decreased the size of the student body at oceanview elementary."

I honestly don’t know where to begin. This school and the entire district have been a major disappointment. The principal lacks the leadership skills needed to run a school effectively—she seems more focused on closing the gate on time rather than on education. If the district wants to salvage the quality of this school, leadership changes are urgently needed.The special education program is in complete disarray. Teachers rarely stay longer than a few months, creating constant disruption for students who need consistency the most. I have seen parents struggling with SDC program and IEP. As for general education, there’s no clear alignment among teachers, and a noticeable lack of concern for actual learning. If you have the option, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
