My husband and I have lived near the Monastery in the slopes since 2006 and before that we lived on 18th near Crossman. We love it. It’s quiet and safe and an easy bus ride into Oakland and downtown. It’s interesting that people wouldn’t think of the slopes as safe but I can say as a woman I walk everywhere and haven’t had anything crazy happen.

Also many of the homes in the slopes have amazing views of the city as well. Once you have a view you won’t want to live anywhere else in the city.
