"Excellent Neighborhood with great demographics"
The East End is not for the shy or the timid! If you love Christmas then you need to check out Thompson Avenue in the East End neighborhood. When Christmas rolls around this avenue becomes a recluse of trees, decked-out homes and holiday oriented people. It is literally a mass of holiday cheer. If anything it sure can dampen your mood or make you festive. The houses are trendy and cost a pretty penny. Be prepared to spend numbers above the half mark when it comes to six figures. The neighbors make new people feel very welcomed with wines and baked goods. I'm sure this not always the scenario, I just know that it is something that my parents do. Traffic is moderate to heavy at times. The banks of the San Leandro Channel provide for great fishing and catching the cool breezes that can't be found in the middle of the East End.
