Neighborhood

Grand Lake is a small, scenic neighborhood just two miles north of Downtown Oakland. Located on the northeast side of Interstate 580, the real estate features a mix of spacious condos, multi-plex units, and quaint Craftsman-style single family homes. The neighborhood is surrounded by some of the most popular areas in the East Bay: Adams Point to the west, Crocker Highlands to the east, and Piedmont to the north.

Many homes in Grand Lake date back to the 1920s and '30s, some designed by notable Bay Area architects like Julia Morgan, Maybeck & White, and Charles McCall. The neighborhood retains its period charm, with romantic homes in Italian Renaissance, Tudor, Spanish, Monterey, French provincial, and Colonial styles.

The Grand Lake - Oakland Farmers Market is one of the most popular in the East Bay. Every Saturday from 9:00am to 2:00pm, vendors bring their finest goods to Lake Park Avenue, offering locally grown organic produce, grass-fed meats, seafood, honey, and hand-crafted jewelry.

Grand Lake's proximity to I-580 makes commuting to San Francisco convenient. Several bus routes lead to the Salesforce Transit Center, near the Financial District and Google Headquarters.

With delicious food options along Grand Avenue, a bustling farmer's market, and easy access to transportation, it's easy to see why Grand Lake has become a popular East Bay neighborhood to call home.
