Broadway-Valdez Homes for Sale

Broadway-Valdez in Oakland has transformed from a neglected area known as “Auto Row” into a vibrant neighborhood with modern apartment complexes, shops, and excellent public transit access. The Broadway Valdez Plan, adopted in 2014, spurred the development of mixed-use, multi-family housing along Broadway between Grand Avenue and the MacArthur Freeway. This prime location is nestled between downtown Oakland and cultural hotspots like Piedmont Avenue and the Grand Lake District. Housing options include new condos, apartments, and historic single-family homes east of Broadway, featuring Craftsman and Mission Revival styles, many of which have been renovated with modern amenities. Local attractions include cafes, eateries offering Colombian, Mediterranean, and Mexican cuisine, and grocery stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts Farmer’s Market. Nearby landmarks include the Paramount and Fox theaters, Oakland City Hall, Lake Merritt, and the Oakland Museum of California. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy Oak Glen Park, Snow Park, and the Gardens at Lake Merritt. The neighborhood is served by Lincoln Elementary School, Westlake Middle School, and Oakland Technical High School, with Lincoln Elementary and Oakland Tech being highly rated. Public transit is a significant advantage, with proximity to the 19th Street and MacArthur BART stations and major bus lines. Broadway-Valdez offers a mix of contemporary living and historic charm, making it a notable downtown Oakland destination.
