Folks who live in Rockridge are quick to name it as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Oakland, and it’s easy to see why. California College of the Arts at the south end of the neighborhood brings a creative streak to the community; this influence is reflected in the eclectic corridor of shops and cafes along College Avenue, a collective of quirky, locally-owned businesses that attracts visitors from all over the city.
Elsewhere, the atmosphere feels distinctly suburban, with tree-shaded sidewalks and attractive houses lining quiet residential streets. Several public and private schools provide parents with a plethora of options for their children’s education. Claremont Country Club partially overlaps the southern portion of the neighborhood and Chabot Recreation Center sits just outside the northeast corner giving folks great facilities for outdoor fun.
