I've lived in Oakland near the Laurel District for 29 years. It's a great neighborhood and only getting better, except for grocery stores - but I'll talk about that later. Let's get the elephant out of the room: crime. read more

Laurel is quite convenient to BART, mainly Fruitvale. I would not recommend parking at Fruitvale BART but you can take the third 53 or 54 to get from Laurel to the station going down 35th Ave. or High Street. You can get to downtown Oakland using the 57 or 14 lines; into San Francisco by using the N line and or one of its express lines. read more

Compared to the housing costs in other similar neighborhoods in Oakland the Upper Laurel looks like a better bargain right now. $400,000 or less buys you a nice home in UL. A similar home even in Maxwell Park can cost more and Millsmont as well. read more
