That area sort of north of Downtown to the west near the freeway by Danville if I am remembering things correctly...up and to the left of East 14th street...one of our ship's doctors bought a house there.

This entire area, especially the tech sector is booming with Apple and Google leading the way. One of my friend's daughter and her BF are paying $2,500 per month in rent for a 450 sq. ft. studio apartment in "the city".
Oakland has been getting gentrified for quite a while now but still is not a very safe city despite the high cost of policing.
