moving to berkeley/oakland
hey guys,
so i'm taking a new job that's in SF and i'd like to live in berkeley. gf goes to law school there and i can take the bart across the bay to SF for my job. i've been scouring craigslist for some leads. so far i've narrowed it down to the following (in order of preference)
rockridge
north berkeley
downtown berkeley
lake merritt
(ashby and the downtown oakland bart stops seem pretty ghetto)
i was wondering if you guys had any other suggestions/tips on areas and neighborhoods. i'm looking for a 2br/1ba place. i want to be no more than a 10-15 minute walk to the bart, since i have a 25-30 minute ride followed by another 20 minute walk to work. i'll be content if the whole trip takes no more than an hour.
i'm finding there's lots of old housing and very little in the way of decent parking options. i'm pretty flexible on budget and am willing to go for a higher end place.
thanks!

I recently moved and one thing that I neglected was stairs. Make sure if you have a lot of stairs they have an elevator. We didn't, and my back is still hurting almost a week later.
