Rent in Oakley getting crazy

First post here. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Am I overthinking this? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Came here for weather and stayed because I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The nightlife is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've lived in Sunset for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Four distinct seasons
- The weather scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is walkability. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's been a really good experience overall. Definitely worth checking out..
