A dynamic urban hub, this highly desirable area has numerous beautiful older homes and a diverse collection of shops, great restaurants and open-air markets. The center of a dynamic arts community, this region of Oakland is the nucleus for several community associations organized around issues within local politics and education. Equal parts tranquil and lively, this neighborhood is easily accessible by all forms of public transportation. Arts and Crafts-style homes, elegant bungalows and pre-war houses with vintage details and gardens abound in this region.
