Manchester Rd
"huge bonus street"
While this is not much of a street it is still rather nice what truly makes this street is the Fairmont hospital. When i was taken here even for some minor things this place was awesome the care was great, the people were great, and they made my stay as nice as possible. I think this hospital was vastly underrated and as i am going into medical i would love to work here one day.

"Like its Name"
This was a fond memory of this place. As i recall it my friends and I decided that one night we would take a look at this street and find out if its name was actually true. Wow, because of how it looks out over an open area this is a prime spot for stargazing. Although unless you live here it might be kinda hard to come and see it.

"Very very nice"
This was a very nice built up neighborhood that was definitely the envy of the area. This street is full of gorgeous houses I would love to own someday. These houses were quite out of the price range of most of the people I hung around with. Although there were a few kids from school who lived here. This was fun revisiting this area and seeing how these houses are still just as awesome as they once were.
Warren Ave
"has a Nice location"
While this was not the nicest street I do remember walking down this street with my friends every now and then when we felt like going to a park that wasn't so close by. What really makes this street is how close it is to McKinley Playground. As i remember it this was fun to walk down here and toy around in the park which is actually quite nice.

"A great neighborhood"
This was the street where I kid i knew from school lived on and it was always a very nice neighborhood. Such a great built up street. This is where alot of the people from this area wanted to live. It was enclosed and altogether just extremely nice. It would be really nice to move back and actually live here.
Park St
"Another nice street"
This was a street another friend of mine lived on while this street was less appealing than some of the other in the area due to the fact it was closer to some big buildings and was not as well built up it still was very nice. This street was also another place where I would meet up with friends where we would go to Siempre Verde Park and play around.
Cherrywood Ave
"Nice Walk with bonus"
Because this was the one street in-between me and my friends streets this was a very common meeting place for us. We would often walk down this street to the best part about it which was it led right into McCartney Park. This was the park where it felt like i spent a good half of my time in. We used to love to come here and play around.
Euclid Ave
"More and more memories"
When I lived in san leandro this was the street my best friend lived on. Him and I would always be back and forth between our houses. This was a very nice street as i recall it however if i remember it correctly it was more run down than sunnyside. It was still this was the last time i visited which was over a year ago.
Sunnyside Dr
"Ah the memories"
This when I lived in San Leandro was my old neighborhood and this was my street. The few years I spent here were awesome and very memorable. I would love to move here again if i ever get the chance. This was where i spent a few of my teenage years and met a few friends i still keep in touch with. This was a great place to live and grow up I just wish I had spent longer here.
Redwood Rd
"Awesome drive 2"
This is such a great place to take a drive just like Crow Canyon. I took a drive through here and while it has woods which are so nice to see as your driving but this also leads right into town. This is an awesome road that if your visiting come and take a drive, and if your a resident come enjoy one of the great parts about where you live.
Trumpet Ct
"Nice nice wait eh"
This I thought was a very nice location much off the beaten path its pretty quiet and the surrounding neighborhood looks very nice. However. There is much to be desired here. The houses were much more run down than I expected. Now granted they were not very run down but hey this is castro valley and they did not meet standards this is why they got much lower marks that I thought they would at first.
Greenridge Rd
"working hard in the city"
This as i see it would make a great street to live on for those who have to get into the city for work. while it has many nice quality parts to it, there are also the simple things that make this a great spot. The fact that it empties out onto a main road is awesome. Yet there is a quieter softer side to the neighborhood this street runs through. I though this would be a great place to live for professional people.
Tree Ln
"Ah so relaxing"
If you live in this are or are visiting and need to take a walk to clear your thoughts (I did), then this is the place for you. Like it says in its name its got trees which is always nice for a walk, but this street has more than that it has a relaxed and refreshed vibe to it. Its hard to explain but as you take in what this street has to offer you almost begin to let things roll off as they dont seem important anymore.
Crestwood Dr
"Had to say"
This was such a cute small little street I just had to talk some about it. This street was very secluded but not like how bad that can be in many cities. The kind of seclusion here is the kind that allows you to really relax. You have no street noise, few neighbors, and nature as your backyard. For those of you moving here look for an area like this where you can not only have the city but still live in a little bit of country.
Crow Canyon Rd
"enjoy a good drive?"
This road was one I made sure i found my way too more than once. In my opinion it has to be one of the best places to just take a drive in Castro valley. There are actual creatures alongside this road. There are trees and real nature just alongside it. While for those of you who do not or have never lived in California dont see the big deal here. This is about as rare as snow here. come and enjoy a nice relaxing drive.
Mt Jasper Dr
"cool surroundings too crowded"
This area is one of only a few that has the surroundings to make you feel as if you have passed out of the city and are in a whole new world so to speak. The surroundings are gorgeous as is most of Castro Valley. The one thing that made me upset with the layout was how close together the houses were. This made for too much of a city feel. While I love the city too this are could have been much more amazing if they had better laid it out.
Osage Ave
"really just a shame"
While this street contains many beautiful houses it simple loses points because half the street had buildings for backyards. These buildings cause an otherwise nice neighborhood to look far to industrial very similar to the problem on Industrial. However I don't write the street off as a total loss the houses are nice and with a backyard like that the price is sure to be right.
Kirkwood Dr
"Wonderful Wonderful except..."
This was a nice street going through a very nice suburban area. This would be a wonderful place to live. The only real thing i didn't care for about this was the fact that it was way to overcrowded. There were no lawns which can be a real problem while I am a city boy and used to not having much of a yard its always nice to have a little something to mow.
Darwin St
"Needs Work but has potential."
This was a nice neighborhood full of nice people and some really nice houses but where this street went bad for me was the ugly menace that half the street has in their backyards. This area is a blight on the street and the neighborhood which makes this street lose some of what would be a much higher rating. I do say with potential because if this situation changes my thoughts would be better.
Hawthorne Ave
"A larger street but another winner"
This street was full of absolutely Gorgeous houses ones that I would love to live in. Although this area seems quite out of my own price range it is a wonderful place to live from what I can tell. The people are friendly the houses are nice and you are very local to just about anything you could want what a great place to live.
Amapala St
"Great street to live on"
While visiting my friend who lives only one street over I took one of my daily walks on this street and met a very interesting woman here one who I am still currently in touch with. I enjoyed my time on this street a lot and wish all other visitors the same luck i had here. As long as its not with the same person as I met.
Jamaica Ln
"yet another winner"
I am thrilled about this whole area I loved every minute of my trip here and cant wait to go back this street had some very nice people living on it who were more than willing to help me navigate around the neighborhood and as i am quite avid about checking the real estate in areas and am quite the connoisseur of fine homes they also gave me details on where to find these things.
Tahiti St
"Awesome Neighborhood To Live in"
This a wonderful street to Live on I have a friend of mine who lives in Hayward California and this was the street he lived on. I spent 2 weeks with him and got to know especially the area quite close to his house very well. This street, for starters, was shockingly quiet at night which i didnt expect being so close to 92. I thought I would be hearing a lot of street noise which I was relived to find out i did not. I enjoyed my entire stay here.
Mueller Ct
"Nice and quaint"
This was a nice little quaint neighborhood that while very small and enclosed was also very charming. The houses here seemed smaller than the area's norm but also were very nice and you could tell that the owners took very good care of them. Especially the lawns were noticeable because of how well they were trimmed.
Spady St
"Quite nice houses"
While the entire area has quite a few beautiful houses in it, I did notice there were many on this street. The quality of these houses some of them also quite large was very nice. I enjoyed walking down this street just to admire some of these fantastic built houses. Unfortunately I did not get a price range for these houses but if it it like the rest of the area its not awful but will require some time to save for.
Burlington St
"Possibly my favorite"
This street was quite possibly my favorite street in all of Oakland. While it is enclosed which is usually a no no for me in this case it worked perfectly. The enclosed nature of the street worked in its favor for privacy and quiet. The area was rather peaceful and seemed very nice. The houses were well maintained as were the yards. A definite top in my list.
Rhoda Ave
"Unusual to Oakland"
I liked this street a lot it was well kept and the houses were appealing. The entire neighborhood seemed nice and open. I thought this seemed like one the nicer places in Oakland to live and would be a place id consider looking at. The neighborhood seemed to be full of friendly enough people who were willing to talk to the new guy in town and give tips on where to eat and stay. Overall a much better experience than most streets around.
East 24th St
"Nicer neighborhood and setting"
I thought this was a nice street that was fairly well kept up. This would be a street I would consider living on if I ever moved to Oakland (Not likely for various reasons read my other reviews). I thought the neighborhood seemed nice I was local to some decent shopping stops. I thought overall this was one of the nicer streets in Oakland, and I hope it doesn't become like most of the other local streets.
Irving Ave
"Very nice improvement"
While I dont care for this area much this was another street that caught my attention while on a trip. While the area is not really pleasing, this street was rather nice. The yards and houses seemed better kept that most in the area This made the entire street much more pleasing to the eye. While i would still not want to live here Irving ave is definitely leading the way here.
Mitchell St
"A nice step up in the area"
While I am not a fan of this area this street was surprisingly nicer than the nearby streets. Even though it intersects with E 16th, Mitchell street is quite nice and much quieter although the neighborhood still leaves much to be desired I would definitely choose this street above other local ones. Definitely a nice step up from the surrounding area.
South Shore / Shoreline
"Absolutely perfect spot"
I would love to live in this section of Alameda while the entire city does have its charm it was this section that really wowed me. The waterfront views are such a knockout. The area is kept clean and the real estate might surprise you with how low these prices actually are. I would be moving here in a heartbeat if I had the money. It was a charming wonderful neighborhood that I am renting a house in this summer. I cant wait to spend more time here. This would also make a great vacation home spot but I think you'll want to be here all round after you spend some time here.
Broadmoor District
"Exciting vacation spot"
I visited here while on one of my trips to california. I thought for a vacation spot this was fun and exciting. There were tons of amazing restaurants to choose from of which I tried quite a few all were awesome. The shopping was great although I am not normally into shopping that had some one of a kind shops that I felt was worth my time. I also thought they were a little pricey on many of thier items but on vacation I hardly complain about prices. I thought it was a great spot to have some fun just dont expect your pockets to be very full afterwards.

"My Fond Memories"
When I lived In California One of the places i settles with my parents was in Willow Glen. I loved living here there was always a ton to do as a kid which was good. It kept me busy and got me out of the trouble id be in constantly if I was bored. I enjoyed the teachers in the schools in this area thought they were enjoyable and I dont have a ton of fond memories of school. I would love to live here with kids when I have them. I always thought this was a great neighborhood to grow up in. The downside is the street noise but that is easy to get over and after a short time youll hardly hear it.
Rex Manor
"Gorgeous but Ritsy"
This was an awesome neighborhood in Mountain View. I have always enjoyed looking at big impressive looking houses. This entire neighborhood was filled with them, so I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would have liked to have spent more time here to enjoy the sight of more in the area, however what I did see was Gorgeous. I would love too live here eventually because it was completely amazing the views the houses even the lifestyle was very appealing. When I do come into my own and move to california again this will be on the top of my list to look for a house in.
Ventura
"Cool and Modern"
When I made my long trip to California Palo Alto was on my list of stops. The city overall is amazing very fun and exciting with plenty to do. This section of the city was my favorite though. Although rather expensive the area is beautiful and very enjoyable. I enjoyed the restaurants and shops here was well as the many other attractions such as night life. Overall ventura is a great vacation spot to visit when in California. Although it can be a little loud so im not sure id want to live here. This made a great vacation spot but even putting the price aside I think living here would be too much for me to handle I like to relax a lot.
Hillside
"Hillside is IT!!"
This is the best and most awesome neighborhood in Daly City Cali I loved my stay here. I thought overall the time in Daly City was amazing but this was the best neighborhood to stay in. I had my first few nights stay in a hotel, but after I got to stay with my friend and his parents in hillside. The whole neighborhood and atmosphere was awesome. The people here (even besides the ones i knew) were so friendly. I would love to live here when I can actually afford it. This was my top choice to revisit this summer. Hope you all enjoy it as much as i did.

"An Awesome City"
Taunton is a city I have lived in for over 10 years now. While not being the flashiest City Taunton has everything you could ask for. Taunton is centrally lacated to alot of great other towns as well, even Boston is only 30mins away with the traffic right. We have a little bit of everything when it comes to shops and restaurants. We have quite a few nice parks and places to go and enjoy yourself. The city is fairly well maintained, and its closeness to the highway and other major routes make it a great convenience to those who live here. As a younger kid we moved around quite a bit. It was here I first got to settle in to a city and I love it.
Roberta Dr
"Great view street"
While quite a bit of san mateo has water views this place is quite special. Something about the way the sunset and the view of the water combined made this such a beautiful place. In fact it was so nice I just had to stop get out of my car and enjoy it for a few minutes which i did. Places like this make you take more joy in the little things, like a beautiful sunset on a warm summer day.
Kathryne Ave
"Wonderful place to live"
This was the home of my aunt and uncle. This street was the perfect place to live in san mateo nice quiet suburban area with a 2 minute ride to the beach. This was paradise to me and I loved my stay here. It was also from a neighbor here that I got my first bass guitar which I have since taken too very much which made me love this street and its residents that much more.
Cavanaugh St
"This is for Golfers"
While i am a mediocre Golfer I did make a trip to the Poplar creek golf course which was very nice. I would list this as a nice retirement spot for the avid Golfer. With a nice course less than a mile from your house, and the beach under a half mile away this would be like a taste of paradise for the retiree just looking to enjoy themselves.
Mission Dr
"Great access earns high grades"
This was a nice pleasant suburban street with nice looking houses on either side of it. The neighborhood was pleasant and I enjoyed the walk down this street a lot. However this is not what earned this street such high marks. The street earns high marks because of location. Mission Drive is in a great location given how close it is to Central Park. Now of course this is no NYC central park but it is quite nice nonetheless, and much worth visiting.
West Poplar Ave
"A nice sunday drive"
Now while San Mateo is quite a city streets like this make it nice for people who arent into being "city people". The nice drive on this street was very relaxing and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The people who live here are extremely nice, but what caught my attention was the picturesque beauty that this street seemed to have.
Clipper St
"Nice relazing spot"
While the street is beautiful its the park and water that really make this place. I am an Avid walker so while I was on a 2 week trip visiting my aunt and uncle I looked around to find good streets to take a walk on and spend some time. This street was one of the first on my list and I couldn't wait to get there. The whole street and the houses were nice. The view of the water was spectacular and the park was fantastic. Definitely a should visit spot in san mateo.
Middlefield Rd
"Shoppers will love it"
now while i am not a shopper of any kind this is a very good street for people who are the shop and restaurants located just of it will be perfect for the compulsive shopper. This street is also a very good local and central street that can help you get to a lot of must places. This street (if you lived here) would be quite familiar to you because you would drive it very very often because of its convenience. This is a very useful street. I know kind of boring if your not a shopper but locals or people moving here will like this a lot.
Vera Ave
"Only 1 Great thing"
This was a rather normal suburban street in redwood, the only thing that made it great in my childhood was it had the best baseball diamond in the city. In red morton community park was THE place to play baseball in redwood. Although it was often taken this was such a perfect place to play. As I remember it, it was also very well kept which made it even nicer to play on. This was way different than most fields in the city which were very run down.
Reese St
"Not To much here but..."
This was a rather plain street, nice but plain. The only thing that made this street stick in my memory was how close it is to Hawes Park. I had friend who lived near here and we would always play in this park. I remember football games that went on forever in this park great place to raise kids near. It was always a place everyone wanted to go to hang out and have fun.
Beech St
"Nice and Quiet"
When I was growing up in redwood I had a friend who lived on beech. My biggest memory of this street was it was almost always surprisingly quiet. This had to be one of the quietest streets in the city. I remember the neighbors were always quiet and pretty much kept to themselves. This was a great street as kids to play on because there was little traffic, so other then with me on it it was quiet.

"Brings Back Memories"
When I lived in Redwood city this was my street. The memories I have from living here are some of the best from childhood. The neighbors were always nice and there was a ton of kids that used to congregate down at hoover park. This was an awesome street to live on. The memories I made here were superb and some of the friend I still keep in touch with. My favorite place in a perfect town
Broadway St
"Broadway has it all"
Broadway street is practically a perfect street both to live on and for visitors. This street while surprisingly quiet also is conveniently located to great shopping as well as the shopping it has. This street I always thought would be better to merely visit but to live on, but with the street noise not seeming to be much of a problem it might be great for both. It is also very local to the interstate.
East Galer St
"Perfect Worker Street"
I thought this street would be perfect for the city worker. It makes for a fairly short commute and yet (in certain sections) can be surprisingly quiet quite the odd combination. I think this would be perfect for the businessman (or woman) who wants to work, have a short commute, and yet come home to peace quiet. The neighborhoods seemed fairly built up so the prices might be a little high but hey it is seattle.
South King St
"Sports fan Paradise"
This street was a little noisy but from the section near the stadium you can hear almost everything going on. just turn on a radio and you have it all. I had a friend who lived near here and sitting in his backyard listening to the game was the perfect way to finish off a long day in Seattle Not to mention it was totally free.
Northeast Laurelcrest Ln
"Such Amazing Views"
The Views On this street of the water are amazing. I would suggest bringing a camera and stopping for a few minutes if your driving by. I did not get much for a feel of the people here, beacause I didnt see any on my walk. However the houses on the water looked amazing and I would love to come and visit this street again the next time im in seattle.
Husson Ave
"Nice Quaint Street"
I enjoyed my walk on this street when I went there I spoke to a few of the residents and was even invited in. The people were so friendly and I have kept in touch with them this was a memorable street and seemed much like normal suburban area. I would love to go back as soon as possible. This was one of the best things I did in my trip to the bronx.

Sands Pl
"Surprisingly nice and quiet"
I had a friend who lived on this street and I always thought i looked way too congested. Although the more time i spent here I realized why he liked it. I was crowded true, but It was also quaint. Hard to explain but I enjoyed my time here. It was surprisingly quiet which amazed me even at night. It was even quieter than providence ( I lived there) which amazed me. This is a great street to live on. Not much room for people with kids though.
