South Prescott. A compact, connected slice of West Oakland, this neighborhood puts you steps from the West Oakland BART Station and minutes from Downtown Oakland. Mandela Parkway’s linear greenway brings morning jogs and dog walks to your doorstep, while converted warehouses and maker spaces add creative energy—nowhere more evident than at The Crucible, the renowned industrial arts school just down the street.
Families appreciate everyday convenience and education options. The Oakland Unified School District serves the area, with nearby campuses such as West Oakland Middle School and McClymonds High School. Weekend afternoons often drift toward neighborhood parks—Raimondi’s ballfields and DeFremery’s historic grounds—or to community gardening and youth programs at City Slicker Farms’ West Oakland Farm Park. For big-sky waterfront views and cargo-ship watching, Middle Harbor Shoreline Park is a short ride away.
Housing spans classic Victorians, early 20th‑century cottages, and contemporary infill townhomes, offering options for first-time buyers and seasoned movers alike. Commuters prize the one-stop hop to San Francisco on BART, quick freeway access, and easy trips to the shops and dining in Emeryville. All of this sits within the cultural and culinary richness of Oakland and the broader opportunities of Alameda County.
