Affordable Neighborhood becoming more family friendly 5 rating By Anonymous ( Nov 10, 2021) I've lived in Highland Terrace next to the Manzanita Community Center for almost 5 years.

Though we do get the typical crime that Oakland sees, it feels like a pretty quiet neighborhood. I love the walking distance to Dimond District and also the proximity to food along fruitvale.  Read Less
