Crocker Highland pairs storybook architecture with everyday convenience, set just southeast of Oakland’s iconic Grand Lake district and edged by graceful Trestle Glen and the small city of Piedmont. Curving, tree-lined streets showcase 1920s and 1930s Tudor, Mediterranean, and Craftsman homes, and a strong neighborhood association culture encourages block gatherings and careful stewardship of the area’s historic character.
Weekend routines come easily here. Residents stroll to Lakeshore Avenue for cafés and independent shops before catching a show at the landmark Grand Lake Theatre. Saturdays brim with local flavor at the Grand Lake Farmers Market, a regional favorite for seasonal produce and artisanal finds. Outdoor time is a constant, with the shoreline paths and bird sanctuaries of Lake Merritt nearby for jogging, rowing, or a sunset walk.
Families value the neighborhood’s academic backbone in Crocker Highlands Elementary, known for active parent involvement and a supportive community feel. Commuters appreciate access to AC Transit lines and quick connections to downtown, while staying close to cultural touchstones, dining, and green spaces that define everyday life in this corner of the city.
