By Farrah:
A Better Oakland reports that there won’t be a new grocery store coming to West Oakland. The City was unwilling to reach an agreement with Fresh & Easy, a grocery store company that wanted to open a store in that neighborhood.
Although it has its challenges, West Oakland is a popular hood for first time buyers, artists and investors looking for reasonably priced but nice home. Its stunning turn-of-the-century Victorians can be purchased for at least a third of the price as a similar home in San Francisco. Designer lofts and condos are cropping up amid old warehouses and crumbling homes. It is also an extremely convenient location for BART and Transbay riders. Unfortunately, it has few restaurants and stores.
