Early 1900s housing provides an established residential feel
Bungalows from the 1920s sit alongside Edwardian homes and Craftsman designs, giving Patten a cohesive old-Oakland feel. Victorian-era homes with ornate detailing are mixed in as well. Most of the housing dates to the early 20th century, meaning much of it was in place before World War I. Single-family detached homes are the most common property type, though duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are woven throughout the residential streets. Prices range from the mid-$400,00s for small fixer-uppers to the mid-$700,000s for larger homes with modern additions such as backyard decks. The median price of about $600,000 is on par with neighboring Peralta Hacienda, but more than 15 percent lower than neighboring Sausal Creek, with a median in the low $700,000s. The citywide median is in the mid-$800,000s.
“It’s heavily populated by homeowners who have been there for years, but you’re starting now to see the turnover where the aging population is no longer determinant. There are more families with kids,” says Felicia Duncan of Real Estate Experts, who grew up in Oakland.
