(also, the closest kroger constantly has a police officer outside of it...which made me wonder where I was). It's labeled a 'diverse' neighborhood and I would say that is very fair. Most people I came across were either in their 70s and had lived in huge mansions for 30+ years, in their 20s partying through college, or facing economic challenges. People did not say hello or smile to me on the streets. Also, to get anywhere you have to drive through other neighborhoods which are known to be 'bad' parts of town. I have since moved to Oakley and I'm much happier. Read Less
