A true "hidden gem" in north Oakland
In a city as large and dense as Oakland, it’s nice to find a neighborhood that feels like a little suburban pocket. In Paradise Park, many homes have backyards, it’s common to see residents out walking their dogs and there’s a corner café where employees know the regulars. At the same time, its central location, proximity to public transportation and walkability give residents the benefits of urban living. A true “hidden gem,” Paradise Park isn’t as well-known as some of Oakland’s other neighborhoods, and according to Emma Morris, a second-generation Berkeley Realtor who has been working in the area since 2001, many newcomers discover it by accident. “They start with the location and the housing prices, but then they discover the charm of the neighborhood,” Morris says.
Paradise Park in Oakland has hill views, lush trees, and quiet streets.

A mix of old Craftsman and new contemporary homes
Located in the northernmost part of Oakland, Paradise Park is close to San Francisco, Berkeley and Pixar's headquarters in Emeryville. Like most city neighborhoods, it has a slightly higher crime rate than the national average (it scores a five on the CAP Index, one point higher than the national average). There is a broad range of home styles, some dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, including classic bungalows, Craftsman homes and Victorian-era homes with ornamental trim and bay windows. Some newly built homes are also popping up in the neighborhood, sporting boxy exteriors in neutral colors. Front yards are small but often packed with verdant plant life. Mature trees dot the quiet, narrow streets, and sidewalks are abundant throughout the neighborhood, making it very walkable. Prices range from $800,000 to $1.5 million for an average of three bedrooms and two and a half baths, with varying square footage. Apartment complexes can also be found throughout the neighborhood, home to many of the area’s renters, who make up 66% of residents.

Dining along San Pablo Avenue and shopping in Emeryville
Many residents walk to the eateries and cafes along San Pablo Avenue when they want to dine out. Paradise Park Café is a go-to for breakfast, lunch, or a spot to grab an evening glass of wine. For something sweet, Donut Farm offers vegan donuts made with organic ingredients and James & the Giant Cupcake is a favorite dessert spot that’s been serving the neighborhood since 2008. For a one-of-a-kind craft beer, residents head to Tenma Beer Project, a beer garden specializing in small-batch brews. And for everything else, the Trader Joe’s in Emeryville is close by, as is the trendy neighborhood Temescal, known for its boutique shops, upscale dining and grocers.
