Paradise Park, where Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville converge
Paradise Park is a north Oakland neighborhood near Berkeley and Emeryville. Tree-lined streets of early 20th-century homes give residents a quiet spot to call home between these East Bay cities and their busy commercial and cultural centers. Within walking distance of mom and pop restaurants, a modern recreation center, a BART station and plenty of AC Transit bus stops, Paradise Park balances a settled, close-knit vibe with easy access to the greater Bay Area.
Craftsman bungalows and Victorians cost less than in Berkeley
Blocks of Victorian homes, Craftsman bungalows and other early 20th-century single-family homes make up much of Paradise Park. Although single-family homes come on the market most often, investors can find a handful of duplexes and small multifamily properties. Thanks to the area's many apartment buildings, most residents rent rather than own homes.
Single-family homes sell from the mid-$600,000s to about $1.3 million. Multifamily properties with two to four units can sell from the lower $900,000s to about $1.6 million. Paradise Park has a median single-family home price of about $1.1 million. That's higher than nearby Golden Gate and Gaskill, but lower than West Berkeley and South Berkeley. According to Emma Morris, a second-generation Realtor who has worked in and around Berkeley since 2001, many newcomers discover Paradise Park by accident. “They start with the location and the housing prices, but then they discover the charm of the neighborhood,” Morris says.
The streets in Paradise Park are lined with homes and gardens.
