Modern living in one of Oakland’s oldest neighborhoods
Piedmont Avenue is one of Oakland’s oldest neighborhoods, but its modern shopping areas and varied architectural style keep the neighborhood's heartbeat alive. Everything is centered around the central commercial area located along Piedmont Avenue, and the eclectic mix of shops and restaurants is within walking distance for many residents. “Piedmont Avenue feels like a little village,” says Lorri Rosenberg Arazi, Broker Associate with Vanguard Properties and resident of over 30 years. “It literally has everything you need, including fantastic grocery stores, restaurants, and a historic movie theatre that runs all the best shows.” The neighborhood is near downtown San Francisco and Oakland for those commuting into the city.

Craftsman-style homes in a competitive market
Housing in Piedmont Avenue dates back to the early 1900s, with some midcentury builds mixed throughout. Craftsman-style homes are the predominant housing type in the neighborhood and often feature small front porches with manicured landscaping. Piedmont Avenue has numerous multifamily options ranging from townhouses to condos. “There are very few listings because the market is so competitive,” says Arazi. “People who are looking to buy here have to wait.” Smaller bungalows sell for around $1.5 million, while larger Victorian builds can top $2 million.
