    • Oakland Ranked 6th Most Popular City to Live in the U.S.Montclair, Rockridge Neighborhoods Also Cited in 2002 Money Magazine Survey OAKLAND, CA Oakland is the 6th most popular city to live in the United States, according to Money magazines annual survey published in the December 2002 issue now available at newsstands. In addition, two Oakland neighborhoods Rockridge and Montclair were featured in San Franciscos #2 ranking as alternatives for people who want a big city lifestyle without the big city expenses. Oakland is the best kept secret in the Bay Area, commented Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown, who is pleased that Oakland is beginning to be recognized as an asset to the entire Bay Area region. This is a fabulous place to live. For the first time, the annual survey focused on the neighborhoods and suburbs that make the top 10 cities great. Money reporters went into the top 10 cities to discover neighborhoods that are small, attractive parts of the whole region. The reporters sought neighborhoods with attractive streetscapes, good schools, community spirit and plentiful recreation with an eye toward affordability. In addition, residents, real estate agents and business people were queried about where they live, as well as where they wish they could live.

Rockridge is a similarly bucolic, tree-shaded area, but pricier because it straddles the border with Berkeley. The accolades come as no surprise to Liz Silverman, administrator of the Montclair Village Association. Moneys survey acknowledges nationally what many Bay Area residents have known for years Montclair is an exceptional place to live, work and shop. Silverman added that Montclair is a great destination for holiday shopping that offers unique shops and boutiques in a convenient location plus free weekend parking during the holiday season. We are delighted to be in the national spotlight, commented Louise Rothman-Reimer, president of the Rockridge District Association. Our eclectic blend of national retailers, locally-owned shops and great restaurants make Rockridge one of the Bay Areas coolest, most exciting neighborhood destinations. Its a great place to live, shop, dine and play. Oaklands presence in the 2002 Money survey comes on the heels of the Forbes ranking of Oakland as the 8th best city for business in the United States and a widely-publicized American Electronics Association survey in which Oakland posted the highest high-tech job growth rate in California in 2001.
