I just compared Oakland's median house values today with 5 years ago, and they doubled! Oakland real estate is on track with Seattle, wgich is driven by Amazon's success at the moment.
Do a Google search for "Oakland gentrification" and you will see tons of articles. Rents are climbing and those who can't afford it are moving.
The nuisance of kids in gangs and the weekend "side shows" are going to all leave the neighborhood fairly soon. They will move eastward. Watch.
Looking long term, Oakland is going to be a great place to live. Great weather. Great access to recreation. Great access to the city thanks to BART. I'm putting my money on Oakland.
