I am a 49 year old woman who has recently gotten a job in Downtown Oakland. I am white. I am looking for an apartment for around 1000.00 a month. Where is a safe, convenient place to live? I am not afraid to ride BART or drive.

i wouldn't live in oakland. anywhere close to bart like concord, berkeley or pleasanton maybe. i don't know about the renting rates there though.

Rockridge district in Oakland is nice, kind of pricy though. Anywhere in the Oakland Hills is nice too. Also around Piedmont Ave. I would consider Walnut Creek/Concord area. It costs less and there are BART stations near. Maybe check the Orinda area, might be too expensive but its suburbanesqe and close to BART.

Look in San Leandro. It's pretty reasonable in price and close enough to Oakland.
