Location, Location, Location!
Imagine living just steps from some of Oakland’s best: vibrant shopping, nightlife, and dining experiences; a bustling Farmer’s... Market; the ever-charming Frog Park; and Rockridge BART. From artisanal groceries to yoga studios and wine bars, this walkable paradise is nestled in one of the East Bay’s most beloved neighborhoods. And if you ever do need a highway—580, 24, or 13 are right there.

Got kiddos? You’re covered. This home is zoned for some of Oakland’s top public schools: Chabot Elementary, Claremont Middle School, and Oakland Tech—a trifecta of education, community, and walkable convenience.

Need a beautifully remodeled home filled with sunlight, soul, and a good human owner-manager? Welcome home. This two bedroom, 1.5 bath is the only upstairs unit of a well maintained triplex.

A Home With History
This Rockridge gem comes with a uniquely Oakland story. The original owners ran a family tile business downtown, but when the Depression hit, they lost their building and relocated here—to what was once a working dairy farm and one of the first structures in Rockridge. Back then, it was all pastureland.

The home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since the 1930s. Now, it’s been recently and fully renovated with warmth, style, and attention to detail.
