Why Live & Work in the East Bay & Oakland?

  You don’t have to leave Oakland to get outdoors. Hike through redwood forests in the Oakland Hills, paddle around Lake Merritt, or explore over 100,000 acres of regional parks just minutes from downtown.  

• Food Scene That Rivals the Best 
  From legendary tacos and soul food to Michelin-starred dining, the East Bay food scene is a global experience all on its own. Temescal, Uptown, and Fruitvale neighborhoods are must-visits for culinary adventurers.  

• Central, Connected, and Convenient  Oakland offers easy access to San Francisco, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley — all via BART, ferry, or a quick drive. And with its own international airport, weekend getaways are just a nonstop flight away.
