    "From what I know the schools are not great, but there are plenty of places for the kids to play and it’s a very family and child friendly neighborhood."

    "Access to Bart and bus is very easy in there the College Avenue area but not once you get up on the hills. Fortunately the freeway entrance to the 13 and 24 runs right in the middle of the neighborhood so going to SF for other parts of Oakland or Berkeley is very easy and quick. Traffic is bad around rush-hour, and neighbors are generally very considerate about sharing very narrow roads."

    "This is a great neighborhood to start and grow a family. I see families participating in block parties, and it's safe at all hours of the day. Halloween and July 4th are the biggest neighborhood events of the year. Families fully commit to blocking off the streets for family fun with music, potlucks, and costumes."
