Trestle Glen pairs storybook streetscapes with everyday convenience in Oakland, where curving lanes of Craftsman, Tudor, and Mediterranean homes trace the area’s streetcar-era origins along Trestle Glen Creek. Minutes from the shops and eateries of Lakeshore and Grand Lake, and bordering gracious Crocker Highlands and the independent city of Piedmont, the neighborhood offers a serene pocket within bustling Alameda County.
Outdoor time is easy to come by: residents jog the shoreline at Lake Merritt, explore bird habitats, or relax in lush lawns via the City of Oakland’s maintained trails and gardens. Favorite destinations include the shimmering waters of Lake Merritt (City of Oakland) and the floral pathways of Morcom Rose Garden, both with programs and events throughout the year. On Saturdays, the Grand Lake Farmers Market brings seasonal produce, local makers, and live music, creating a lively weekend ritual steps from home.
Families prize local schools served by Oakland Unified School District, including Crocker Highlands Elementary, Edna Brewer Middle School, and Oakland High School. Commuters appreciate rapid bus connections on Grand and Lakeshore through AC Transit and straightforward access to regional rail with BART, plus quick links to I-580 for trips across the East Bay.
