- dredmorbius 14y agoRockridge. Downtown / Lake Merritt. Alameda or Jack London Square, and you can hop on a ferry. BART gives you 5-15 minute headways from 5am until midnight/1 am, and is very, very reliable except when it isn't. Ferry service is less frequent but generally a nicer ride (more room, less riff-raff, much less scary crap in the upholstery, literally).
- allantyoung 14y agoDowntown Oakland is awesome. Lot's of good food around especially if you don't mind walking a few blocks to Chinatown and you love Chinese food. BART gets you to Berkeley, San Francisco or further east if you're looking for cheap housing. If you're ever near the Oakland Tribune Tower, ping me and I'll buy coffee/beer.
