Hayward

The neighborhood of Upper B Street is situated just to the northeast of Downtown Hayward, California. This small neighborhood is only home to about 3,800 residents, and features a predominately-residential landscape. The smaller commercial areas consist of strip malls and older-style business buildings mingled with the older-style residential areas. The pros to the Upper B Street neighborhood is that it is very convenient to the downtown area, local public transportation, and real estate in the area is affordable. The cons are that the schools in the area are not the best in Hayward, and the neighborhood sits close to Cherryland, which is known for being a bit unsavory for families with small kids. For students or recent graduates looking for a convenient and affordable start, the Upper B Street neighborhood is a near perfect fit.
