Havenscourt blends classic East Oakland architecture with everyday convenience, offering blocks of 1920s bungalows, multilingual storefronts, and steady community rhythms. Commuters appreciate the quick hop to the Coliseum BART Station, with frequent trains and airport connections, and the easy drive to jobs and entertainment across Oakland and neighboring San Leandro. Weekend mornings often mean a stroll or bike ride along the San Leandro Bay at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline, where levee trails and bird-rich marshes deliver a dose of nature close to home.
Education anchors the neighborhood at Coliseum College Prep Academy, a 6–12 Oakland Unified campus known for college-minded counseling, small-school feel, and strong family engagement. The nearby Eastmont Branch of the Oakland Public Library adds free tutoring, tech access, and programming that families rely on throughout the year. With Elmhurst just to the east, youth sports, after‑school programs, and community centers are within a short ride.
Daily essentials are covered by local markets and taquerias along International and Bancroft, while larger retail and services spread out toward Eastmont and the Coliseum district. Outdoor lovers can cast a line, launch a kayak, or picnic by the water at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline, and concertgoers are minutes from major events at the arena and Coliseum. As part of Alameda County, residents benefit from countywide health, park, and cultural resources.
