About
As Brooklyn is to Manhattan, Oakland is to San Francisco. At first, it was considered to be Berkeleys more grittier sister and as a destination to those who arent able to afford pay the high prices for housing in San Francisco however still wish to be inside the city. Oakland became its own city. Just just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco and only some miles to Silicon Valley, Oakland is ideal for commuters as it is a perfect city. If youre not keen to travel to work, Oakland offers BART service as well as ferry service.
