Oakland pocket close to Emeryville and Berkeley
While most of West Oakland’s neighborhoods have extensive histories, Santa Fe is among the oldest. This residential quarter takes its name from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (AT&SF) Railway, which once ran through this neighborhood back in the late 19th century. Though the AT&SF may no longer exist, Santa Fe hasn't lost its access to rapid transit. “Oakland is culturally diverse, it's got great public transportation, and there are so many things to do. And I think Santa Fe embodies that,” says Margie Morris, a Realtor with Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno and a 25-year resident of the Bay Area. “Santa Fe is so close to Emeryville and Berkley and all the great stuff to do there, the Pixar Animation Studios are just a few blocks away, the homes are really interesting. It’s got a lot going for it.”
Classic Queen Anne Victorian homes are common around Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe neighborhood sits at the border of Berkeley and Oakland.

Charming Craftsman builds throughout the neighborhood
Santa Fe’s architecture tells the story of a neighborhood in existence since the twilight of the Old West. The oldest houses in Santa Fe date to the 1890s, and many more were built from the 1900s to 1920s, though they've been modernized in recent decades. These vintage properties range in sale price from $575,000 to $1.6 million. A handful of newer homes have been built from the 1970s to the late 2010s, selling for between $1 million and $1.3 million. Tudor Revival, Craftsman and Spanish Colonial styles are widespread, reflecting the Bay Area’s shared Spanish and Anglo history. The occasional white picket fence can be found at the entrance to Santa Fe’s residences, all of which have sidewalk access and most small front gardens.
