Highland Terrace
Highland Terrace blends hillside calm with quick-city access, set just east of downtown Oakland on walkable streets of early 20th‑century bungalows and stately Victorians. Commuters appreciate the straightforward hop to I‑580 and I‑880, while the frequent, bus‑rapid service on the AC Transit Tempo line along International Boulevard keeps trips to job hubs and campuses stress-free.
Weekends revolve around green space and local flavor. The neighborhood’s hub, San Antonio Park, offers playgrounds, courts, and wide lawns for pickup games and picnics, and Lake Merritt’s paths, gardens, and bird sanctuary are a short ride away via the City of Oakland’s Lake Merritt waterfront. A lineup of taquerias, pho shops, and mom‑and‑pop markets along International and Park Boulevard keeps dining interesting, while renowned Highland Hospital nearby provides both employment and peace of mind.
Families are served by the Oakland Unified School District, with nearby campuses such as Oakland High offering diverse programs and athletics; older students and professionals alike benefit from easy transit to colleges and arts venues across Alameda County. The neighborhood sits adjacent to the historic San Antonio district, adding cultural festivals and community events to the calendar.
