List of neighborhoods in Oakland, California
The following is a listing of the neighborhoods of Oakland, California, categorized into larger area designations of the city. A broad geographical distinction in Oakland neighborhoods is between "the hills" and "the flatlands" (or "flats"). The more affluent neighborhoods are located in the hills along the northeast side of the city, while neighborhoods are generally less prosperous the nearer they are located to San Francisco Bay. Downtown and West Oakland are located entirely in the flatlands, while North and East Oakland incorporate lower hills and flatlands neighborhoods. This hills/flatlands division extends beyond Oakland's borders into neighboring cities in the East Bay's urban core such as Berkeley, Hayward, San Leandro, and Richmond. Central business district
