Commonly referred to as the "East Bay," the region has been the fastest growing in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than two decades. The East Bay is popular because of its desirable location, incredible diversity, ideal climate, broad economic base, and its range of available housing and business opportunities. The County itself is one of the most diverse regions in the country. The County offers a rich array of cultural activities, including the Oakland Museum and the Oakland East Bay Symphony. The region is also home to the Oakland A's and within a short drive to several other professional sports teams.
