Located in the Fruitvale area of Oakland, Oak Tree appeals to homebuyers seeking a well-connected neighborhood with deep roots and distinctive housing. The community is known for its historic properties, diverse dining scene and convenient transit options, including BART service to San Francisco and other Bay Area destinations.
Large, decorative Victorian-style homes and Craftsman bungalows are prominent among the neighborhood's older housing stock. The area leans toward higher-density urban living, with many of its properties having been converted into multi-family housing. As a result, about 85 percent of the neighborhood's residents are renters. With limited availability, single-family homes in Oak Tree don't go on the market often, but when they do, they typically sell from about $500,000 to $1 million.
“It’s a nice place to live, very convenient,” says Zanna Knight of Compass, a longtime area resident. “It’s near a BART station, and International Boulevard is very vibrant during the day.”
International Boulevard and Fruitvale Avenue are the area's main roadways, while local and regional destinations can be accessed via car, bus and commuter train. Downtown Oakland, about 4 miles away, is within 15 minutes by car and 25 minutes by bus. Nearby Interstate 880 connects residents to regional destinations, as does the Fruitvale BART station, which provides light rail service to several Bay Area cities. It's about a 35-minute commute to San Francisco via train, while the 16-mile drive via I-880 and I-80 takes about an hour.
International Boulevard is the heart of the area's diverse dining scene, with Asian flavors well-represented in Oak Tree and Latin flavors a highlight in neighboring Fruitvale. Popular options include:
Several parks sit within reach of the Oak Tree neighborhood. Josie de la Cruz Park features basketball courts, a soccer field and a playground, along with the Carmen Flores Recreation Center, which includes a computer lab and community garden. San Antonio Park offers tennis courts, a community garden, a soccer field, a lighted basketball court, a playground and walking paths. Along the Oakland Estuary, Union Point Park spans about 9 acres and features a waterfront promenade with marina views, picnic and barbecue areas, and a nautical-themed playground. A segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail passes through the park, connecting walkers and cyclists to the Oakland shoreline.
Oak Tree is part of the Oakland Unified School District, which uses an open enrollment system that allows students to apply to schools across the city. Nearby district options include International Community Elementary School and Garfield Elementary School. Roosevelt Middle School and Fremont High School, which is organized around career-oriented academies in subjects such as architecture and media, are nearby options for older students. Agnes Memorial Christian Academy is a PK-12 private option in the neighborhood.
