What kind of neighborhood is the 94601 zip code in East Oakland?

I鈥檓 considering moving back to the Bay Area. Found what may be a good deal on a fixer-upper in East Oakland. To be specific, it鈥檚 in the northeast quarter of the 94601 zip code.



Here's a map: http://www.dianeverducci.com/zipcod...



Sort of between Maxwell Park %26amp; Fruitvale.



Anyone know what kind of neighborhood this is? How does it compare to my childhood neighborhood North Richmond? I鈥檓 very familiar with Montclair, Rockridge, Temescal %26amp; West Oakland. I know very little about East Oakland. Just that hills=safe, flatlands=dangerous. Rarely ventured south of Lake Merritt, save occasional trips to the Coli. I was always offered drugs when in that neighborhood.



This neighborhood appears to be sort of on the border. I鈥檓 not terribly concerned about schools right now. I plan on moving before that becomes an issue. I鈥檓 mostly interested in crime rates, ambiance, transportation, libraries, bike-friendliness, places of worship, etc.What kind of neighborhood is the 94601 zip code in East Oakland?
That was my area code when I first moved out to the east bay. It's not that far from Rockridge or Piedmont at all. You have Kaiswer hospital nearby as well. You have many options for travel as it's near various bus routes, biking is an option %26amp; Mac Arthur BART is nearby as well.



I haven't lived in Richmond, though I have lived in Oakland, San Francisco, %26amp; now Berkeley. I've never been offered dugs while living in Oakland. I know of a library on Piedmont Ave, though I'm sure there's another local one nearby as well. There are a variety of religious establishments for mormons, buddists, christians, catholics, jews, etc; so I'm sure you can find one that makes you feel comfotable.



I enjoyed my years with the 94601 area code. I would say aside from living in San Francisco, I would walk to majority of the places I wanted to go to (%26amp; I lived in the flatlands part of the area). I hope all goes well %26amp; you enjoy living there as much as I had.What kind of neighborhood is the 94601 zip code in East Oakland?
