Hi,

We are considering buying in Bay O Vista or Assumption Parish neighborhoods.
Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of crime in those areas?

My husband got a good first impression, but crime statistics for San Leandro in general are twice the national average.

Can anyone give help? Also, any specifics regarding gangs, break-ins, etc??

Thanks,
Tracy

There are "2" San Leandros... Bay O vista is home to many Business Owners and community leaders and is situated high above the city with open space parkland behind it.

I've never heard of Crime as a problem in Bay O Vista?

I'm going to a New Year's Eve celebration there tonight and will report back if I here anything contrary.

Default Keep it coming!

Thanks so much guys. Anyone else to chime in? Actually, if our house is to be there, I was going to insist on an alarm...

We are also looking in Piedmont. Seems the police are on top of things there... we would be the poor folks, but....

Piedmont has a very dedicated Police Force and great public schools. The city is entirely surrounded by the city of Oakland.

I imagine you will find most of the homes MUCH older than Bay O Vista and the prices higher. Piedmont has plenty of multimillion dollar estates.

Good Luck on your search... at least you will have many homes to choose from.
