"nice affordable neighborhood"

Edgemere Lane is in a nice residential area that was mostly built in the 50s and 60s. The styles of the homes reflect that era, so it is not the most scenic area. It is safe, friendly, and very affordable compared to the rest of the bay area. It is fairly convenient for commuters.

"Friendly, affordable neighborhood"

Huron Lane is located in the Southgate neighborhood in Hayward. This is a fairly quiet, safe, friendly area. It is ideal for families starting out or on a limited budget, or seniors. Neighbors are friendly and will walk in the evenings and visit. There is little traffic on this street as it is not a thru street.

"decent, quiet neighborhood"

Merritt Lane is located in a fairly quiet (other than freeway traffic) friendly neighborhood. This is a good area for families and retired seniors. It is not as good for young singles or young couples as there is not much of a singles scene or a very 'hip' vibe. It is a safe, cute, family neighborhood, conveniently located to shopping, schools, and transportation.

"convenient commuter location"

Avondale Lane has a great location for those commuting from Hayward to San Mateo or San Francisco for work. However, there can be a lot of traffic from the nearby highway. This is a pretty nice and safe older neighborhood, but fairly affordable housing. It is good for families and seniors.

"nice older neighborhood"

Malcolm Ln is in a pretty nice, established, older neighborhood. It is mostly ranch-style homes filled with families and retired couples. It is a quiet neighborhood as far as traffic and being safe but can get some noise from the freeway nearby. Malcolm Ln is in a convenient location for schools, parks, shopping, and commuting.

"safe, ok neighborhood"

Kay Avenue is a secondary street that connects several small, quiet neighborhoods, but has some residential areas of its own. It is not as quiet and traffic free as the surrounding neighborhoods, but isn't a main thoroughfare either. This area is convenient to shopping, schools, and the freeway. It is safe but not really upscale.

"pretty nice starter neighborhood"

Resota street is in a small, nice neighborhood, not extremely upscale but good for starter homes or those on a budget. It is conveniently located near Southland Mall, so close to shopping and lots of restaurants. There can be some noise from the freeway, but it is convenient to be close to such a main artery of traffic.

"nice neighborhood but lots of traffic noise."

Magnolia street is in a cute, fairly nice, affordable neighborhood with a good convenient central location. The only bad part is LOTS of noise from the Freeway. The constant traffic noise can be annoying but if you have a good hedge/privacy fence can block some of it out and residents do get somewhat used to it.

"ok residential neighborhood"

Quantas Lane is in a fairly quiet small residential neighborhood in Hayward. It is close to Chabot College, so it is convenient for full time students or working adults taking part time or night classes. The neighborhood is safe and friendly, and fairly cost effective. It is ideal for families or retirees.

"Nice neighborhood near shopping"

Poinciana Street is in a fairly nice neighborhood convenient to shopping and schools. It is a pretty nondescript neighborhood of 1950s and 60s ranch style houses, not a beautiful neighborhood but a ok middle class area, good for starter homes. The neighbors are friendly and with sidewalks it is a good place to walk, ride your bike, etc. The neighborhood itself is quiet and has little traffic, but there can be a lot of traffic and noise nearby from the freeway.
