Lockwood-Tevis has proximity to transportation and walkability
Lockwood-Tevis occupies a set of Oakland city blocks just north of where the Oakland A’s and the Golden State Warriors play. Wedged conveniently between International Boulevard and San Leandro Street, the neighborhood places residents within a 12-minute drive of downtown. Many downtown commuters without cars are within walking distance of the nearest Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, which offers an 11-minute train ride. Further, realtor Nicholas Cassidy of Coldwell Banker Solano Pacific says International Boulevard’s bus lanes have recently expanded. “Whether you’re commuting in Oakland or surrounding areas, having the BART or bus system available within a relatively short walk is huge,” says Cassidy, who’s sold homes all over the Bay Area.

Bungalows and cottages below Oakland’s price average
Further drawing homebuyers are the neighborhood’s prices, with properties nearly $500,000 below the Oakland average. While Lockwood-Tevis’ easternmost blocks comprise a rental housing project, its remaining acreage mainly features detached homes for purchase. They’re quite small by local and national standards, with an average floor plan of just over 1,000 feet. Many have stood since the 1920s, including countless bungalows with Craftsman details. Mission Revival cottages are also common, some with stucco facades and flat roofs, others with clay roofing and random rubble masonry. “It’s not track homes — every house is unique and independent,” Cassidy says. “I’d say the median price for a home in good condition is $500,000.” On the lower-cost end, move-in-ready two-bedroom bungalows under 800 square feet start in the mid-$400,000s. Conversely, a three-bedroom, recently updated home over 2,300 square feet could reach the mid-$600,000s.
