Sequoyah
Suburban Neighborhood in Oakland, California
Alameda County 94605
Midcentury modern homes and gated condo community
Sequoyah Hills began as one of Joseph Eichler’s last developments in the San Francisco Bay area. The neighborhood is home to just 48 midcentury modern Eichler homes, with many featuring private atriums, glass walls and attached garages. Homebuyers will also find an eclectic collection of split-level, ranch-style and Tudor-style homes, with prices ranging from around $900,000 to $1.5 million. Homes sit on comfortable lots with an average size of about a quarter-acre, and a thick canopy of oak trees offers residents a sense of privacy. “It’s an established neighborhood where you get more for your money since it’s pretty far south in Oakland, farther away from amenities,” says Deidre Joyner, a Realtor with Red Oak Realty who has been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. Further north is the gated Shadow Woods community, where condos range from around $460,000 for a one-bedroom unit to $600,0000 for a two-bedroom. According to the CAP Index, the community has an overall Crime Score of 2.Golfing, hiking and fishing in the Oakland Hills
The Sequoyah Country Club anchors the community, and members enjoy access to an indoor fitness center, two pools and an 18-hole golf course. The Anthony Chabot Regional Park is just east of Sequoyah and features over 70 miles of multi-use trails weaving through the San Leandro Hills and the shores of Lake Chabot. With a steady supply of trout, the lake is a popular spot for fishing. Just south of Sequoyah is Knowland Park, where locals can see everything from bald eagles to tigers at the Oakland Zoo.Children attend the Oakland Unified School District
Kids in grades K-5 attend the nearby Oakland Academy of Knowledge, which opened in 2020 following a school merger and is not yet ranked by Niche.

Teens attend the B-rated Skyline High School, which offers Advanced Placement courses and four academic pathways emphasizing hands-on learning: green energy, education and community health, computer technology and visual and performing arts. Private school options include Bishop O’Dowd High School, a Catholic school serving grades 9-12 and earning an A-plus from Niche. Sequoyah is just south of Merrit College, a public community college.Events with the Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Association
The Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Association hosts several annual events. The community gathers for the neighborhood’s Autumn Festival, National Night Out and more.Access to I-580 and San Francisco
Sequoyah is bordered to the west by Interstate 580, which links the Bay Area to the Central Valley. Residents are about 20 miles from San Francisco and less than 10 miles from the Oakland International Airport. “It’s about a 30-minute drive to San Francisco,” Burnley says. The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District provides local bus service to the community, with several stops along Sequoyah Road.Neighborhood pizzeria and market in the Ridgemont Plaza
Residents are minutes from the Ridgemont Plaza along Keller Avenue. Skyline Pizza is an old-fashioned pizzeria where locals can enjoy fresh pies, arcade games and an outdoor patio, while Keller Market sells grocery essentials. The Foothill Square Shopping Center is about 3 miles south and includes chains like Foods Co. “They’re also currently in the works to put a new shopping center there in the next 10 years,” Burnley says.
