Community Information

Oakland's landscape is a picturesque mix of lovely hillside neighborhoods; exciting and diverse architecture; a bustling waterfront; two shimmering lakes; 19 miles of shoreline along the San Francisco Bay; unparalleled Bay views; and more parks and open space per capita than any other city in the Bay Area.

Everyone loves our year round vacation weather with temperatures in the gentle 50's and 60's in the winter and spring, and 70's throughout summer and fall. A city on the move, Oakland has emerged as a major economic force in the region.

Long a center for international trade, the Port of Oakland is the nation's fourth busiest container port in the Bay Area. The Oakland International Airport is served by 12 major domestic and international airlines. Getting around is easy by train, automobile, BART, bus and ferry. The arts are alive in Oakland.

Oakland has one of the largest visual and performing arts communities on the West Coast, and the arts are celebrated on every level here, from acclaimed symphony and ballet to museums, galleries, and small arts organizations.

Oakland is just 3 hours from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and hours drive to the Napa Valley wine country. The BART metro system makes it easy to get around without a car

Vallejo is a diverse waterfront city located in the northern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, approximately 30 miles northeast of San Francisco. As the largest city in Solano County, Vallejo offers residents a blend of historic character, cultural diversity, and convenient regional access.

The city sits along the shores of the Napa River and San Pablo Bay, providing scenic waterfront views and recreational opportunities. Vallejo has a rich naval history as the former home of the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, the first U.S. naval base established on the West Coast. Today, the redeveloped Mare Island area features a mix of historic architecture, residential communities, businesses, and cultural spaces.

Vallejo is well connected to the greater Bay Area through major highways and ferry service. The San Francisco Bay Ferry operates regular routes between Vallejo and downtown San Francisco, making it a practical option for commuters. The city also offers convenient access to nearby destinations such as Napa and Sacramento.

Residents enjoy a variety of parks, waterfront trails, and family-friendly attractions, including Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Vallejo is known for its vibrant arts scene, community festivals, and multicultural dining options that reflect the city's diverse population.
