The City of Oakland, Ca

There are several characteristics Oakland has that make it a truly unique city. Being the eighth largest city in California, Oakland has a population of just over 400,000. It's the only city in California with the "big three" sports teams: the Oakland A's, Oakland Raiders, and the Golden State Warriors. The Port of Oakland is the fourth largest container port in the US and among the top 25 in the world, and Newsweek ranked Oakland among the top ten technology cities in the country.

In addition, Oakland's geography offers a central location to several of California's vibrant hubs. San Francisco is 15 minutes away, Silicon Valley is 45 minutes, and the world famous UC Berkeley campus lies just a few miles to the north. The climate in Oakland is ranked #1 in the US according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration local climatalogical data.
