South Stonehurst offers a grounded slice of East Bay life with quick connections to work, school, and shoreline nature. Set in the southeastern corner of Oakland and adjoining Elmhurst, it blends modest postwar homes, wide residential blocks, and light-industrial edges that make room for studios and small workshops. Its location near the border with San Leandro expands everyday conveniences, while remaining firmly part of Alameda County.
Weekends often lead toward the water, where trails and picnic spots at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline bring breezes off San Leandro Bay and broad views of coastal marshland. Commuters appreciate straightforward access to I-880 and rail; the nearby Coliseum BART Station links to Downtown Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco, with regional trains and airport connections close at hand. International Boulevard’s corridor provides essential services and everyday dining, and local parks and rec centers host youth sports and after-school programs.
Families find public school options within Oakland Unified; the 6–12 pathway at Madison Park Academy supports college and career readiness, while neighborhood elementary campuses and East Oakland high schools offer arts, athletics, and STEM opportunities. Housing here often delivers more yard and driveway space than many urban pockets, appealing to first-time buyers, multigenerational households, and anyone seeking a practical base for Bay Area living.
