Lush greenery lines the Gerstle Park neighborhood’s extensive sidewalk system, giving residents every excuse to walk up the 4th Street or B Street for groceries, morning coffee, or after-hours R&R. On the south side of the neighborhood, the eponymous park’s playgrounds, footpaths, and shady trees provide a delightful spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Multiple elementary schools in the Gerstle Park area give parents options for their children’s education, and of course walking to class is one of the many perks of the neighborhood’s cozy layout (James B. Davidson Middle School sits just outside the neighborhood as well). Convenient access to the 101 and Interstate 580 makes it easy to reach Oakland or San Francisco in under an hour.
