Redwood Heights delivers hillside living with everyday convenience, perched above Oakland and framed by the neighboring Laurel, Dimond, and Montclair districts in Alameda County. Streets curve past mid-century ranches and updated contemporaries, many with sweeping Bay and skyline vistas. A mild microclimate and leafy blocks encourage evening strolls, while quick access to Highways 13 and 580 keeps regional commuting practical.
Families prize the neighborhood’s anchor school, Redwood Heights Elementary School, known for engaged teachers and an active parent community. Around the corner, the Redwood Heights Recreation Center offers after-school programs, sports, and summer camps alongside a playground and open lawn. Outdoor lovers can trade pavement for redwoods within minutes: trail networks unfold at Joaquin Miller Park, the old-growth groves of Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, and the quieter pathways of Leona Canyon Regional Open Space Preserve.
Daily errands are uncomplicated, with independent markets, cafes, and services along nearby Laurel and Dimond. Readers and remote workers appreciate the welcoming Dimond Branch Library, while AC Transit routes and BART stations a short drive away expand car-light options. Community events—from school garden workdays to seasonal rec-center gatherings—reinforce a friendly, low-key rhythm.
