Central Oakland Core
Vision Statement: a high quality, vital rental housing district based on a variety of new and old housing types with a balanced market orientation constituted by undergraduate students, graduate students, and non-student market segments.

Strategy: strengthen the physical environment via strategic rehab and new construction of rental property that sets the market for quality and code compliance. Market units to non-students and students already living in other parts of Oakland in an effort to create a high quality, energetic living environment. Promote long term influx of stable renters in concert with a university push to create additional on-campus dormitories.

South Central Oakland
Vision Statement: a physically and economically revitalized residential district based on new construction and restoration of the area's intrinsic architectural character and reinforcement of homeownership with a diversified middle-income market orientation constituted largely by market segments tied to the local academic, cultural, and health care institutions.

Strategy: create a physical context through new development and public improvements that begin to change the image of the area and builds value into the neighborhood as a means of obtaining both market diversification and private re-investment incentive; focus homeownership initiatives on Oakland Square, Parkview, and the east side of Dawson; improve or redevelop major rental properties that are not suitable for conversion to homeownership.
