19th St Oakland is in the middle of Uptown - it was expensive 5 years ago, let alone today. Not sure where you think it is but it's right in the middle of one of the most vibrant downtown areas in Oakland...
Rockridge is likely more expensive PER SQUARE FOOT because Orinda has more space so places are much larger but at the same price or only marginally higher. I mean Stephen Curry just bought a 3.5 million place out there that's pretty darn massive but a small 2 story home in Rockridge starts at like... 800k and not for a nice one either.
I've been in Rockford for a year and a half, and just sabot the entire block has been sold in that time. It's a pretty popular neighborhood... And closer to everything than Orinda.

Makes sense overall.
