Woodbine Ave, Downtown Castro Valley

Jamison Way on the outside seemed like a nice street to live on.One side of the street was commercial and the other side was residential. It is a side road that connects you to two busy roads so there was some noise. As we were sight seeing I noticed an apartment community that had places available and just to check it out I went in, boy was that a mistake. I was excited at first because I wanted to live somewhere cheap so I could save some money for school. Don't get me wrong the apartments were remodeled and looked nice. It also was gated which is a plus. When I finally got through the gate and was observing the place, I noticed there was a lot of outside activity going on like people walking their dog and walking their kids in a stroller, but I also noticed that there were many vacant apartments so I decided to get out and adventure. Everyone I spoke with told me that they were moving out because the landlord was driving them nuts. They said she was going through their garbage and will ask other neighbors to spy on each other. Besides this apartment complex everything else seemed nice and quiet. This street is more of a commercial than residential street.
