More about Fruitvale Healthcare Center
Nurses here talk about rents that feel daunting and about not leaving anything in a car, in any neighborhood. In East Oakland, a 1,600-square-foot house has rented for about $3,800 a month, split among roommates. Buying is described as much harder than renting. California will want its own license — it is not a compact-license state — and it takes a graduated state income tax with some of the highest brackets in the country. Sutter Health is hiring in this same market in our data at about $86.27 an hour. That is a wide gap next to $50. If Fruitvale is still the building you want to walk into, you walk in knowing the number and the rent.
