We moved from San Francisco to Emeryville in 2006 & never looked back! We were fortunate enough to buy a place in Emeryville and have enjoyed it’s close proximity to SF & it’s relaxing, convenient, clean & the new influx of restaurants & bars.
Also please note that the crime rate is calcluated using the tally of 11,000 residents which is very misleading as the daytime population in Emeryville Skyrockets to over 1,000,000 people with so many businesses & retail shopping destinations in Emeryville. If you base the crime rate off of the daytime population & not the “nighttime” residential population (of 11,000) the crime rate is actually the lowest in the Bay Area for the amount of ppl that are here during the daytime (when Crimes tend to occur/car smash & grab burglaries at parking lots.)
It’s a very family friendly & welcoming city for all...how can it not be when a majority of its daytime population & residents work at Pixar Studios!

Emeryville has its pockets of cool, but the city is dominated by a high rise apartments/condos, and by big box & chain stores (Target, Ikea, etc.) with huge parking lots. And the freeway is a big presence. Steep housing prices but not much sense of neighborhood. Crime is a factor.
Emeryville is a small town that swells into a medium city due to the daytime worker influx. There are a lot of well-known companies here, including Novartis, ART.com, Jamba Juice, Cliff Bar, Peet's Coffee, etc. However, this can make the 1sq mi town seem a bit crowded. That said, all of the tax money makes for well-manicured streets, a big boom in culinary experiences, and great views of SF.
