The closer you are to the ridge, the quieter and safer it is, but you must always remember that this is Oakland. A very neighborly place, people are friendly and helpful and it seems that it's slowly becoming a "couple with a kid" destination. The houses are charming, all sizes, styles and conditions are here. Many houses have incredible views either to the bay, the Oakland hills or into lush greenery and woods; there's even a real creek here. The ridge area doesn't have sidewalks and has a rural feel, the roads are somewhat rundown but are clean. It really is quite special and an odd find in east Oakland that we luckily stumbled into. We really like it here.
