St. Elizabeth brings together tradition, convenience, and community on the eastern side of Oakland. Steps from the heart of Fruitvale, this pocket of streets around International Boulevard hums with neighborhood bakeries, mercados, and taquerias, plus easy access to the Fruitvale Transit Village and its small-business backbone. Weekends often revolve around parish and school events, with St. Elizabeth Catholic Parish and St. Elizabeth Elementary School anchoring a lively social calendar.
Families appreciate the range of educational options, from parochial programs to the neighborhood schools supported by the Oakland Unified School District. After-school offerings and youth sports are common on local fields, and the area’s many cultural programs keep kids engaged year-round.
For fresh air and local history, residents wander the orchard paths and exhibits at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, then follow colorful mural corridors to cafés and pupuserías. Commuters value frequent service on AC Transit’s rapid corridor—Tempo Line 1T—linking International Boulevard to downtown and beyond via AC Transit Tempo. Fruitvale BART puts the rest of the Bay within easy reach, while the bridges and boulevards make quick hops to Alameda or San Leandro a breeze.
Housing ranges from sturdy early-20th-century bungalows to duplexes with in-law suites, creating options for first-time buyers and multigenerational households alike.
