Skyline-Hillcrest Estates Home for Sale

Oakland’s Skyline-Hillcrest Estates neighborhood emerged from the city's postwar suburbanization. Many homes date back to the early 1950s and late 1960s. Styles include Mediterranean and Tudor Revival, Craftsman, Cape Cod and Contemporary. Parks surround the community. Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park offers over 1,800 acres of redwood groves and nature trails. It also features an archery range and is next to the Chabot Space and Science Center. Challenging climbs at Leona Heights Park are rewarded by views of Oakland and the San Francisco Bay. Leona Canyon Regional Open Space Preserve is another popular hiking spot, and it’s pet-friendly. Lincoln Square is about 2 miles away, featuring a Safeway and eateries like Hunan Yuan and Sparky’s Giant Burgers. Skyline Boulevard connects the neighborhood to State Route 13 and Interstate 580, making downtown Oakland 10 miles away and San Francisco a 20-mile commute. Healthcare is accessible at Highland Hospital. Schools in the area include Carl B. Munck Elementary, Montera Middle School and the highly rated Skyline High School, which is recognized for its diversity and career-focused pathways.
