Traditional suburban El Sobrante community with East Bay convenience
El Sobrante Manor is a small residential neighborhood north of Oakland that offers a traditional and accessible suburban landscape within the sprawling East Bay. Located in the city of El Sobrante, this community sits next to vast outdoor recreational spaces and benefits from its proximity to a variety of prime local conveniences. “There are a number of things that people really like,” says Adam Dobrinich, a Realtor with Exp Realty of California who lives in nearby Pinole. “It has a community feel, meaning it’s a great place to get to know your neighbors, the home prices are reasonable, and it’s a good location for accessibility to the freeway and public transportation. You’re also near shopping and restaurants, and the schools are very accessible. Overall, there’s a nice convenience factor to the area.”

Mixed housing landscape with starter home possibilities
El Sobrante Manor’s wide streetscapes feature an array of housing, from well-kept homes built in the 1940s to more contemporary homes in HOA-run communities. Midcentury home styles from the 1960s and custom, contemporary-style properties built in the 1970s are the most common housing styles. “There’s something for everyone,” Dobrinich says. “You’ve got starter homes for first-time buyers and larger homes for people looking to grow a family. There are a lot of options, and the pricing is more reasonable than a lot of other places in the Bay Area.” Prices range from about $600,000 to $800,000 for a two to three-bedroom home and around $800,000 to $1.1 million for a larger, three to four-bedroom house.

Community parks and abundant recreation at the San Pablo Reservoir
Most options for outdoor recreation are just outside of the neighborhood. Pinole Valley Park sits on the border of El Sobrante Manor and is a wooded creekside park with a skateboarding area, dog park and a playground. There are also walking trails, a baseball diamond, play structures and green spaces. The neighborhood is also close to the Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve, a scenic hiking trail known as a popular birdwatching destination. Hilltop Lake Park, a waterfront green space about two miles west of the community in neighboring Hilltop Village, offers fishing and walkable trails amid a rare stretch of relatively untouched habitat. “Where El Sobrante is situated, you have regional parks all around,” says Dobrinich. “You also go directly west, and you’re at the San Francisco Bay. And there’s San Pablo Reservoir nearby, where you can go hiking, boating and fishing. Proximity-wise, having access to all those outdoor spaces is another draw.”
