短期内,东湾北部的价格在过去2个月基本稳定,1-5月份是一小波上涨(但不如南湾,甚至
不如TRI-VALLEY).
影响房价的最大因素实际是供需关系,房源少的地区如ALBANY/PIEDMONT/UPPER

有15%的LOW-INCOME的HOME.所以从投资的角度,我不推荐. OAKLAND在DOWNTOWN这几年盖
了不少CONDO,别看价格都挺贵,但成交量很少,很难卖.不象SF价高量也大.这里是有价无

現在的整個rent有點兒下降的趨勢
所以住在外面也挺好

I recommend upper Rockridge (94618) if you have a car.Upper Rockridge is one of the best area around Berkeley, and 10- 15 minutes driving. I bought a house 2 years ago and feel very comfortable to live in there. Try to find a apartment/in-law unit in a house, and keep distance to the busy street like College Ave.

发帖数: 2972 | 24 如果在BERKELEY工作,有要好的高中, ALBANY几乎成了唯一的选择,这也是ALBANY小黑屋
狂贵的原因之一. 如果在BERKELEY靠山上的校区,也可以考虑ORINDA, 从ORINDA到
BERKELEY可以沿山路开,避开24的隧道,也不太堵车.当然前提是开山路不头晕. :-)
如果先只考虑小学, EL CERRITO\BERKELEY\KINSONGTON\UPPER ROCKRIDGE\MONTCLAIR都
可以考虑. 其中我偏好后2个.
UPPER ROCKRIDGE的HILLCREST是个10分的K-8学校,前提是你的孩子<5岁,能从KG入学.如
果错过的KG入学,基本没空位入学. MONTCLAIR的原因是房价比BERKELEY便宜,治安比EL
CERRITO好, 从13去BERKELEY很方便.

发帖数: 715 | 30 美国的房子默认就是unfurnished的，也就是不带任何家具的。有少数房东可能因为工
作地点调动的关系，想把房子快速出租出去，这时候才可能是带家具的。
另外，如果要买家具的话，我有两个建议：
（1）不要去宜家，因为性价比太低。就算去越南家具店，也比宜家强多了。
（2）刚来尽可能少买家具，把家具数目限定在最基本需要就可以了。因为事后你过了
一两年对湾区更熟以后，肯定会对当初买家具不满意。这时候留着觉得恶心自己，处理
