OT: Raptor and others in the Bay Area. Need rental help.

Jennyo,

Thanks. We’ll look into Walnut Creek. We looked at the Daily Californian (Cal) yesterday and there was nothing. You’re probably right — it’s too early to start looking. Our daughter doesn’t require much. Just a safe neighborhood with good transportation. I guess I’m just surprised that in this bad real estate market, more people in the Bay Area aren’t looking to rent a bedroom out. We live not far from SDSU and there are plenty of such rooms available.

The Bay Area rental market is very tight and very expensive; however, for a shared room, she’ll have no trouble finding one…. in August, not in May! Right now you have the summer sublets coming on, then in July-Aug, you’ll begin to see the back to school shares.

First, Craigslist is the only game in town. There is no point looking at anything else for Oakland/Berkeley.

Second,While Walnut Creek is safe, it’s also not exactly fun.
Try Rockridge, North Berkeley, etc. They are safeish (not perfect) but more entertaining. Plenty of shares.

Finally, get used to the questions. People here expect some degree of communitarianism in rentals and finding out the person’s likes/dislikes/habits is really important – and very standard.

Also FYI, there is no medical school in Oakland – or Berkeley for that matter I assume you mean she is doing residency at either Oakland Children’s or Kaiser? Or something else? If Oakland Kaiser, try Piedmont (reasonably safe, cute, etc). If Oakland Children’s try Rockridge.
