FAQs about Top Filming Locations in Oakland, CA
In Oakland, prices of filming locations average $150 hire fee per hour. The cost depends on capacity, location, and equipment available. Some spaces may offer lower prices on certain days of the week, so make sure to keep an eye out for discounted options. You can find filming locations that offer packages with crew or professional gear, which can also affect the booking costs. Here's a breakdown of price ranges in Oakland on Tagvenue (data from September 2025):
| From $88 | to $150 | hire fee per hour |
| From $1500 | hire fee per day |
It’s best to book filming locations in Oakland at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance, especially for weekends or full-day shoots. If your project requires specific lighting conditions or setups, securing your venue early ensures you’ll have time to coordinate logistics and equipment. For larger productions or during peak seasons (spring and autumn), booking 6 weeks or more ahead is a safer bet.
For podcasting, small shoots, or solo content, Oakland Post-Production/Podcast Studio offers a quiet, professional environment starting at $88 per hour. RBA Creative in Upper Laurel is another affordable space for $130 per hour, catering well to photographers or individual creators. Oaktown Boudoir in Ivy Hill offers a creative setting for only $80 per hour—ideal for stylised, intimate shoots.
