About Oakland
Buying or Selling in Oakland? Work With a Local Expert.
Oakland is the East Bay's largest city, with varied neighborhoods, San Francisco Bay frontage, and housing ranging from Victorian flats to new condominiums.
Oakland's housing stock and price points vary considerably from one neighborhood to the next. Oakland's housing stock includes Craftsman homes, mid-century flats, hillside single-family homes, and waterfront condominiums across neighborhoods citywide. The city is served by Oakland Unified School District. Buyers comparing across neighborhoods will find a wide range of price points — Victorian flats on tree-lined streets, income properties with strong rental demand, and hillside homes with Bay and Golden Gate views at price points the Marin and San Francisco markets do not offer. BART's Transbay Tube connects Oakland to downtown San Francisco. Oakland has a large concentration of restaurants, music venues, and cultural institutions, including the Oakland Museum of California and the Fox and Paramount theaters.
