Kevin McGregor and Monika Johnson moved to Oakland from the Midwest, seeking to establish roots in a community they valued. With careers in finance and clean energy, they prioritized being close to friends and nature while looking for a home within their $1.1 million budget. Their desire was to find a property that required renovations but had potential for value increase. They engaged a local agent to navigate the challenges of Oakland's housing market, balancing aesthetic desires with functional needs such as space for their dog and proximity to hiking trails.
"We wanted to put down some roots, Johnson said. Staying close to friends was a high priority... Neighborhood feel was super important to us."
