Iveywood puts you close to the action while keeping everyday living practical and connected. In the southeastern corner of Oakland, near the border with San Leandro, this pocket of flats blends classic postwar homes with light-industrial blocks and small businesses, giving residents quick access to jobs, services, and major roads. Weekend plans are easy: concerts and family shows roll through the nearby Oakland Arena, flights are a breeze from Oakland International Airport, and the waterfront trails and bird-rich marshes of Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline offer a mellow nature escape.
Commuting is a strong suit. The Coliseum Station links BART and Amtrak’s Capitol Corridor, while AC Transit buses move along International Boulevard and 98th Avenue. Errands and after-school time are helped by the light-filled 81st Avenue Branch Library, a beloved neighborhood hub for homework help, youth programs, and community events.
Families look to the Oakland Unified School District for neighborhood options, with elementary campuses and secondary choices such as nearby New Highland Academy and Coliseum College Prep Academy serving students in this part of Alameda County. On the home front, residents appreciate deep driveways, workable yards for weekend projects, and a street grid that makes morning drop-offs and quick grocery runs straightforward.
