Midtown

Pill Hill is a small neighborhood located about a mile north of Downtown Oakland. Various medical facilities are located in the neighborhood, hence the name. Along with pharmacies and doctor’s offices, Pill Hill is home to the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center. Pill Hill has apartments and condos available for rent. The iconic Telegraph Avenue runs through Pill Hill so residents have access to cafes, coffee shops, and grocery stores within walking distance, but many residents take advantage of the neighborhood’s central location by traveling into neighboring communities for more shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Explore eateries on Piedmont Avenue, or head to Adams Point to access Lake Merritt. Pill Hill is nestled between Interstate 580 and 980 so it’s a great choice for anyone who wants to be able to travel across the Bay Area with ease into other major cities like Berkeley and San Francisco.
