Well, friend, we\u2019re here to help. If you have a family, the big factors to consider are the quality of education and crime in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, you want your kids to have a great place to go to school and still know they\u2019re safe outdoors. Right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re moving to Oakland for work or as a single person who wants to network, you might be more drawn to living right in the hustle and bustle of Oakland, where you have a better probability of finding people with similar interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re looking for a great neighborhood to move your family to or a trendy neighborhood to move to alone, we\u2019ve got you covered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_neighborhoods_in_Oakland_for_families\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best neighborhoods in Oakland for families<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city of Oakland is a wonderful place to raise a family. Admittedly, as with any city, there are some parts of the city that are best to avoid due to a higher-than-average crime rating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are many beautiful, safe parts of Oakland as well, which boast a high quality of living for families of all sizes. So, don\u2019t be put off if anyone tells you that Oakland is unsafe. There are so many neighborhoods that are family-friendly, diverse, and a perfect place for you to move to!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of your best options include Rockridge, Montclair, Glenview, Crooker Highland, Fairview Park, and Piedmont Avenue. Below, we\u2019ll share a few of our favorites in more detail:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Rockridge<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting off the list of the best neighborhoods in Oakland for growing families is Rockridge, a quaint neighborhood of 12,850 people in Alameda County. Rockridge has great public schools with high academic ratings, so if you\u2019re looking for a good place for your kids to go, you\u2019ll have plenty of options in Rockridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The neighborhood is near Berkeley High School, Berkeley Arts Magnet at Whittier, Willard Middle School, Jefferson Elementary School, and Martin Luther King Middle School, among others. It\u2019s also near many private schools rated an A+, including the College Preparatory School, Head-Royce School, Bentley School, and Bishop O\u2019Dowd High School.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, school aside, what else makes Rockridge a great place for families?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One resident says, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/n\/rockridge-oakland-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rockridge is the best part of Oakland in terms of beautiful Craftman houses and trees, access to multiple supermarkets including Trader Joe&#8217;s and Whole Foods, lots of independent shops from clothing boutiques to a great hardware store, restaurants, BART and busses, and lots of community spirit.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means that all your basic amenities are available in Rockridge, from clothing stores to food marts and coffee shops. Not to mention, you get the luxury of being in close proximity to public transportation, so you can travel wherever and whenever you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to move to Rockridge, expect to find a median home value of $1,228,141. The median rent is $2,097.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Montclair<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Rockridge, Montclair comes up frequently as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/the-5-best-up-and-coming-neighborhoods-in-oakland\/\">top up-and-coming neighborhood in Oakland<\/a>. With a population of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/n\/montclair-oakland-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8,805 people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this neighborhood is the perfect size for a growing family looking to put down some roots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 87% of people own their home in Montclair. The median home value is $1,268,722. However, if you\u2019re not ready for a mortgage yet, don\u2019t worry. There are many beautiful styles of homes to rent, and you\u2019ll be looking at a median rent of $2,340.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are multiple highly rated public schools in the Montclair area, including Piedmont High School, Piedmont Middle School, Havens Elementary School, and AIMS College Prep Middle School. If you prefer the private school avenue, there are also many options to choose from, including Maybeck High School.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-1358817681\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are there great schools in Montclair, but you\u2019ll also love the quiet, laid-back atmosphere. The neighborhood also has multiple places to eat and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with your friends. (Our personal favorites are Sophie\u2019s Cuppa Tea, Yellow Door, and Paddington Cafe.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Glenview<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Montclair is a great neighborhood in Oakland, many people like that there is a little more happening in Glenview, but there\u2019s still a good level of quietness that a family requires. One person on Reddit says, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/oakland\/comments\/97kqti\/moving_from_golden_gate_to_lower_montclairadvice\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[It\u2019s] a little less of a sleepy vibe but still a very nice area.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glenville has 7,529 people and is often called one of the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/n\/glenview-oakland-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best neighborhoods to raise a family in Oakland.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d You can buy a home for a median home value of $1,088,191 or pay a median rent of $1,626.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many great public schools for people who live in Glenview, including Piedmont High School, Piedmont Middle School, and Millennium High Alternative School. In addition to the College Preparatory School and Head-Royce School, you can choose from many private schools if you prefer that option. That includes the Quarry Lane School, Bentley School, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for something to do in Glenville, you can explore Oak Glen Park, take a swim at the Lions Pool, or stop at one of the many delicious eateries in the neighborhood. (Don\u2019t forget to add Marzano, Bellanico Restaurant &amp; Wine Bar, and Sushi Park to your list!)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_neighborhoods_in_Oakland_for_young_professionals_and_singles\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best neighborhoods in Oakland for young professionals and singles<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that Oakland has been named #25 on the list of the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/oakland-alameda-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best cities for young professionals in America?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d You heard that right! So, whether you work in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaklandca.gov\/topics\/diversified-economy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manufacturing and food production, tech, or the arts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you\u2019re sure to find Oakland just the right place to live (and not too far from your work!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Fun fact: if you do work in the arts, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll meet like-minded people in Oakland, as the city \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighborhoodscout.com\/ca\/oakland\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has more artists, designers, and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When moving to Oakland as a young professional or unmarried person, some of the best neighborhoods to consider are Caballo Hills, Glen Highlands, Woodminster, and Lakeshore. We also can\u2019t forget these two top picks:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Downtown<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, if you\u2019re looking to move up the ladder in your organization or even meet people, you want to be where things are happening. And that means Downtown Oakland. Just over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/n\/downtown-oakland-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10,881 people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> live in the Downtown neighborhood, which is rated an A+ for nightlife and diversity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll notice that the majority of people rent Downtown, which can make it easy to commute to work\u2013wherever that might be. The median rent is $1,659, and the median home value is lower than expected ($679,874), which is higher than the national average but less than other parts of Oakland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to move to Downtown Oakland (AKA the Central Business District), get ready to jump into a fun, vibrant, fast-paced scene and meet people from all over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downtown, you have countless bars, coffee shops, and restaurants, all within walking distance from some of the most beautiful apartments you\u2019ve ever seen (with stunning views of the city!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Temescal<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you look at any Oakland safe neighborhoods map, you\u2019ll likely find Temescal on it. Temescal is a trendy, top-10 neighborhood in Oakland and one of the most desirable neighborhoods for millennials and other young professionals living in Oakland, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/n\/temescal-oakland-ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. (It\u2019s also one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people in Temescal rent, and you\u2019ll be happy to know that the median rent is $1,745. (If you decide to buy a home, the median home value is $957,279.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, rent aside, what else makes Temescal so in demand? Well, for starters, it has a vibrant nightlife scene that can make it easy to meet new people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are tons of bars and restaurants to drop by after a long day of work, including but not limited to the Avenue, Jaguar Karaoke, Temescal Brewing, The Kingfish Pub &amp; Cafe, and North Light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_help_moving_to_Oakland\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get help moving to Oakland<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re planning a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/ca\/oakland\/movers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local move<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/ca\/oakland\/long-distance-movers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">long-distance move to Oakland, CA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we can help with that.
