Living in Oakland — the reality
Hey folks, Been living here since 2015. Homes are going for about $924,700 on average. Median household income is $97,369, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 56°F, so the weather is moderate. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
