Artist enclave situated along the East Bay waterfront
Vibrant murals, art installations and galleries are a daily part of life in Jingletown. Once dairy farms, community organizations have turned this industrial section of East Oakland into the fastest-growing arts district in the San Francisco area. Located along the Tidal Canal and East Bay waterfront, the neighborhood is a mix of industrial buildings, condos and lofts 3.5 miles from downtown Oakland. “Jingletown is an arts district. It’s got lots of mural paintings, interesting cafes and emerging businesses. There are Victorian houses and newer condos. It’s a really interesting mix of artists in warehouses and tech people attracted to the waterfront condos and short commute to San Francisco," says Nancy Copeland, a real estate agent with Green Key Real Estate and 20 years of experience.
The community got its name from the Portuguese residents jingling down the street with a pocket full of coins on payday. The area fell on hard times in the 1980s and ‘90s before experiencing a revitalization in the early 2000s. Today, the neighborhood holds the world’s largest yard sale each March. The Oakland Museum’s Women’s Board organizes a massive White Elephant sale that fills an entire warehouse.

Artist lofts, Victorian houses and contemporary condominiums
Jingletown has a growing housing landscape thanks to warehouses being converted to lofts and contemporary condos near the canal. Single-family homes are rarer, and these tend to be Victorian designs. Streets in the residential portion are laid out on a grid, while roads around the industrial section are curved to fit a bend in the canal. Housing here is intertwined with the arts and retail, so The Jingletown Arts, Businesses & Community organization holds clean-up days, safety meetings and artist open houses throughout the year. Homes sell for a median price of $700,000 after around 65 days. Single-family homes range from $500,000 to $700,000, while condos start around $500,000 and continue to $800,000.
