Also known as Oaktown, it is the third largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area and the eighth largest city in the state.

From beautiful hillside neighborhoods to eccentric shopping districts, and from parks to waterfront, Oakland has its own distinct voice that even San Franciscos counterculture or fog cant match. Given its colorful history, Oakland remains a cultural mosaic and is in the midst of reinventing itself.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"\"en-US\"\" style=\"\"margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: normal;\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"\"en-US\"\" style=\"\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\">Bounded by abundant trees, verdant lawns, and Victorian mansions, Lake Merritt is an idyllic playground in summers.
