Oakland is conveniently located on the other side of San Francisco Bay. This California city offers a lot of rental homes of various sizes for you to move into. Considerations need to be made in terms of size, home features and location to ensure your happiness. There are plenty of homes to choose from so it's a matter of exploring all of your options.

The location of your Oakland home for rent is of the utmost importance. While there is public transportation and a lot of major highways in and around the city, you want to live close to where you work, go to school or otherwise spend most of your time. You can be near the harbor in the Jack London district, Prescott, in the heart of downtown or in various other areas.

Many of the Oakland houses for rent are single family homes that are one story high. While you can find two story homes, they are not as readily available. Depending on the area of the city, you may find that square footage can vary significantly. Typically the farther you get from downtown, the larger the homes will be.

Swimming pools are a great thing to look for in your rental home. The heat in California can become unbearable in the summers. If there is a swimming pool in the back of your house, you can cool off at your convenience. If you can't get one at your home, look to see if there is a community pool that can be used inside the neighborhood you move into.

If you plan on making Oakland your home for a number of years, it can be beneficial to look into rent to own houses. These will allow you to rent for a certain period of time before turning around and getting a mortgage on the house. If you are waiting for your finances to turn around or want to test out the neighborhood first, this can be a very effective tactic to take.

Pets are not always allowed in rental homes. Particularly if you have a large breed of dog, the landlord may refuse to rent the home to you or require a sizable deposit. Even cats, fish and other animals can be limited by the landlord. If you have any family pets, it's an important aspect of renting a home to look into pet friendly rentals before you sign a rental agreement contract.

Oakland houses for rent are numerous and scattered throughout the city. It won't be hard to find a rental, it will simply be a matter of choosing one that fits all your needs. Look at location, size and features and you will be happy with the home you move into.
