Located at 527 23rd Ave in Oakland, CA, this single-floor live/work unit offers a compelling blend of industrial character and modern updates. The expansive open-plan living area is defined by striking exposed red brick walls that span the perimeter, complemented by rich hardwood flooring that runs throughout. A row of large, frosted sliding windows lines multiple walls, allowing generous natural light to filter in while maintaining privacy, and offering glimpses of the surrounding neighborhood greenery. The combined kitchen and living area provides a versatile, wide-open layout well-suited for both everyday living and creative use. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with white shaker cabinetry, a classic subway tile backsplash, dark countertops, stainless steel appliances including a range and dishwasher, and a stainless steel sink — a clean, contemporary contrast to the industrial aesthetic of the main space. The full bathroom features large-format tile flooring, a soaking tub with a tiled shower surround and handheld fixture, and matte black hardware accents throughout, lending a modern, polished finish. Elevated ceilings and an open floor plan contribute to an airy, loft-like ambiance throughout the unit, making this Oakland space a distinctive and functional setting.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
