Temescal
"Expanding new area allows for population boom"
If you want to hang out in the newest areas of Oakland then you need to head over to Temescal. Temescal offers easy access to the Groove Shafter Freeway (24) which makes it quick and easy to come or go. Telegraph Ave is the best street in the Temescal area in my opinion. The street is lined with new shops that are bursting at their seams with retail goods. There are also plenty of restaurants too. Your typical corporate food chains and a few small popups here and there. The neighborhoods in Temescal are somewhat scaled back when it comes to the usual overcrowding the many California cities have to deal with. The houses range from lower middle class up to the fancy side. You can even find a few trailer parks in the area. I guess Temescal was channeling the deep South.
