Moving in Oakland

New city, new place, new everything. Get the real story on neighborhoods from people who actually live there.

Moving resets your whole local knowledge. Ask Peachy for the neighborhood intel, the mover recommendations, and the "what I wish I'd known" posts from people who made the same move. And when someone near your new place puts out free boxes, you hear first.

Oakland has always run on word of mouth, and Peachy is built for exactly that. Say you're looking in Oakland and posts from people across the town reach you, from Temescal to Fruitvale to the Lake. Say how far you'll travel and the rest of the East Bay comes with it.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Show me posts about moving to Oakland: neighborhoods, costs, advice.”

“Tell me when someone's giving away moving boxes near Oakland.”

“Surface mover recommendations. Horror stories welcome too.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.

Find your people in Oakland.

Free. Just a phone number.
