Looking for a house in Oakland? There are surely a lot of Oakland homes for sale. But let’s understand a bit about Oakland before deciding to choose a house in certain area. Oakland has more than 50 distinct neighborhoods across land running from the San Francisco Bay up into the East Bay hills, many of which are not “official” enough to be named on a map. Oaklanders most broadly refer to their city’s terrain as “the flatlands” and “the hills,” which up until recent waves of gentrification have also been a reference to Oakland’s deep economic divide, with “the hills” being more affluent communities. About two-thirds of Oakland lies within the flat plain of the San Francisco Bay, with one-third rising into the foothills and hills of the East Bay range. Which are and what sort of house do you want to choose?
