Neighborhood

The Longfellow neighborhood sits about three miles northwest of Oakland, near the junction of the 580 Freeway and State Route 24, and three miles south of the University of California, Berkeley. Downtown San Francisco is a short 10-mile drive or a quick ride on BART away (catch the high-speed train at the MacArthur Station).

Due to its fantastic location near UC Berkeley, San Francisco, and Downtown Oakland, combined with quality schools and reasonable rents, Longfellow is considered one of Oakland's up-and-coming neighborhoods. Add in plentiful bike lanes, historic architecture, and mountain views, and apartments in Longfellow provide everything you want in the Bay area -- without the high price tag.
