Bartlett. A quiet East Oakland pocket balancing everyday convenience and big-city energy, with tree-shaded streets, classic bungalows, and multi-generational households. Steps from local markets and food carts, with quick access to Oakland’s favorite corridors—nearby Fruitvale buzzes with panaderías and taquerias, while Dimond serves up cafes, breweries, and trailheads into Sausal Creek. Housing ranges from early 20th-century cottages to refreshed duplexes and courtyard apartments, often with off-street parking and backyard fruit trees. Weekend errands are simple, and shoreline breezes and ferries in Alameda are a short hop away.
Families appreciate the neighborhood’s connection to the Oakland Unified School District, with a range of language and STEAM programs in the area. History and open space come together at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, offering community gardens, exhibits, and festivals that reflect the neighborhood’s deep roots. Weekend farmers markets and street vendors add flavor to daily routines. Commuters love the reliability of BART from Fruitvale or Coliseum stations, supplemented by all-day AC Transit lines for easy cross-town travel. On sunny afternoons, many head uphill to redwood groves or spend a day with the giraffes and gondolas at the Oakland Zoo.
Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or buying your very first place, Bartlett’s mix of accessibility, culture, and value is hard to beat—and when you’re ready, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a great local agent for buying or selling.
