Bedroom community near warehouses, an airport and San Francisco Bay

Located near Oakland’s southern border, Brookfield Village was one of the city’s first tract home developments when it was built in WWII. This diverse East Oakland community has remained residential while adjacent to the Coliseum Industrial area’s warehouses and transportation companies. It provides multiple pathways to the rest of Oakland, San Leandro and Silicon Valley, as well as the Oakland International Airport. "This is a neighborly neighborhood, and it’s a great place for commuters," says Stephanie Davis, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker with four years' experience. "There’s easy access to the South Bay and San Francisco." In addition, Brookfield Village’s location puts it near green spaces, shopping centers and the San Leandro Hills.

Oakland neighborhood parks, sports centers, walking paths and playgrounds

William “Bill” Patterson Park sits at the edge of the neighborhood and is one of the oldest green spaces in Oakland. The city bought the land in 1869, and in 1937, it was named for local councilman William Patterson. It features walking paths, open space and athletic courts. The East Oakland Sports Center and the Ira Jinkins Community Center are part of the park, and the Oakland Public Library-Brookfield Branch sits at the eastern corner. Just south of the neighborhood, Tyrone Carney Park is a triangular green space that opened in 1968. The park is undergoing renovations and is set to re-open in 2025 with four play areas, paved walking trails, murals and a circular plaza. In neighboring San Leandro, tree-lined Warden Park features a playground for children five and under, a basketball court and picnic areas. Just west of the neighborhood are more recreation areas, such as the Metropolitan Golf Links, Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline and piers for fishing along the bay.

Midcentury Oakland housing development with modest one-story homes

The neighborhood was developed for 1,200 houses during WWII to accommodate workers in Oakland’s wartime industries. The majority were built in long rows between the 1940s and 1950s and tend to be one-story bungalows with small lawns. A few multifamily properties are mixed among the single-family homes and are generally small, with less than nine units. The neighborhood is shaped like a diamond with a curved eastern edge instead of a point. This unusual shape has made the streets run at odd angles and bend to join each other. Homes sell for a median price of $525,000 after around 60 days. Prices range from $550,000 to $950,000 for multifamily properties. Bungalows range from $365,000 to $850,000, with homes having the most bedrooms selling for the highest prices.
