Bushrod blends classic architecture with an easygoing, community-first spirit on the north edge of Oakland. Framed by Temescal and Rockridge, and a quick hop from Berkeley, the neighborhood offers tree-lined blocks of Craftsman bungalows and duplexes, pocket gardens, and a friendly sidewalk culture. Commuters appreciate options in every direction, with bike-friendly streets and BART close by for a seamless ride across the Bay.
At the heart of daily life is Bushrod Park and its busy Bushrod Recreation Center, where you’ll find ballfields, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and year-round youth and senior programs. Weekend routines often involve a coffee run, a pickup game at the courts, and dinner along Telegraph or College Avenue—two nearby corridors known for inventive dining and local shops.
Families value strong neighborhood schools and programs. Beloved Peralta Elementary School anchors community events and garden projects, with additional options like Claremont and Oakland Tech just beyond the neighborhood. Commuters and students alike benefit from nearby Ashby Station, making regional trips simple without relying on a car.
Whether you’re drawn by recreation, access to universities and arts next door in Berkeley, or homes with timeless character, Bushrod offers a well-connected, down-to-earth place to put down roots.
