Life in Oakland

If you're moving within heavily populated areas within central Oakland, the AC transit system or the BART trains should work well. If you need to travel at odd hours, or to the outskirts of the city, you're going to want a car.

Where to play

If you get a chance to take in an Oakland Raiders NFL game, you'll witness firsthand how intense Oakland sports fans are. Visit Jack London Square to enjoy some great shopping and dining in one of the most tourist-friendly hotspots in town. If you're in the mood for Chinese food, Oakland's Chinatown is a fabulous destination. There are also some fantastic parks in and around Oakland, including the Redwood Regional Park

Methodology

Each month, using over 1 million listings across the United States, we calculate the median 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom rent prices by city, state, and nation, and track the month-over-month percent change. To avoid small sample sizes, we restrict the analysis for our reports to cities meeting minimum population and property count thresholds.
