Wentworth Holland Homes for Sale

Wentworth Holland in Oakland is a neighborhood characterized by early 1900s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish-inspired homes with red tile roofs and stucco walls. The community primarily consists of single-family homes, with some townhouses interspersed. The homes, often built from termite-resistant redwood, are closely spaced along tree-lined streets with unique angles due to the neighborhood's wedge-like shape. While Wentworth Holland lacks its own green space, nearby parks such as Rainbow Recreation Center and Carter Gilmore Park offer amenities like lighted basketball courts, playgrounds, and baseball fields. Local dining options include Ruth’s Buka for Nigerian cuisine and Luis’s Coffee Shop for diner classics, with Taqueria El Paisa just outside the neighborhood, known for its Bib Gourmand-awarded tacos. The neighborhood is pedestrian-friendly with ample sidewalks and a bike lane on Bancroft Avenue. Public transportation is accessible with bus routes 40 and 840, and the Fruitvale and Coliseum BART stations are about 1.5 miles away, providing connections to San Francisco and San Jose.
