A resilient neighborhood with historic houses
Elmhurst Park serves as a microcosm of the ups and downs East Oakland has gone through as well as the reemergence that is currently taking place. Located just off the historic East 14th Street Business District, the neighborhood has retained its vintage character through its abundance of early-20th-century residences. Realtors say these homes not only add charm but make it more accessible to buyers. “The neighborhood is a little bit more affordable than some nearby neighborhoods,” says Albert Mejia, a Realtor with Exit Realty Consultants with nearly 10 years of experience in the market. “Many of the properties in the neighborhood have been converted from single-family homes to multi-family houses.”

Vintage homes preserve Elmhurst Park's historical charms
Elmhurst Park sprang during East Oakland’s early-20th-century industrial heyday, when whole neighborhoods emerged to house the city’s growing pool of workers. Though Oakland’s once-vibrant manufacturing industry may not be what it was, these prewar residences still form the core of Elmhurst Park’s housing stock. Single-story homes built from the 1910s to 1960s vary in price from $320,000 to $750,000, with homes closer to International Boulevard costing more than those nearer the railroad. Homes built since the 2000s vary from $590,000 to $755,000. “The market is kind of the same across the city, as well as Elmhurst Park, and it is moving, but higher interest rates have slowed it down considerably,” Mejia says. Elm trees shade both residences and sidewalks. Most homes have compact front yards, and many driveways are gated to guard against motor vehicle theft, of which there is a risk double the national average, according to the CAP Index. Elmhurst Park as a whole scores a 6 on the index, two points higher than the national average.
