The City of Oakland is a great place to live. I lived in Oakland for over 25 years. The city is very diverse. Dining out is fabulous. I consider Oakland to be very safe. Most of the crimes you hear on the news are from West and Far East Oakland. Like San Francisco, there are areas in the city you should avoid. Currently, I am living in Fremont, which I find is a boring city. A decent restaurant is really hard to find. I find myself visiting Oakland every weekend. Here are some places you should visit when you are in Oakland: Piedmont Ave, Lakeshore Ave, Trestle Glen, Lake Merritt, Rockridge, Montclair. If you have little kids, you should bring them to Fairyland. Admission is very affordable.
