Neighborhood

The Lower Hills District of Oakland is made up of several small neighborhoods, including Piedmont, Crocker Heights, Oakmont, and Redwood Heights. Situated just seven miles to the east of Downtown Oakland on the north side of Interstate 580, the Lower Hills District maintains a small town feel despite its location among one of the Bay Area’s biggest communities. Windy, tree-lined streets house both new apartments and homes dating back to the '30s and '40s. Residents don’t have to travel far for everyday needs thanks to Oakland’s fast-growing economy. There is a plethora of shopping and dining options scattered around this sprawling community. You’ll find most of the amenities close to the MacArthur Freeway (Interstate 580) or near Park Boulevard. Access to the freeway and Bay Area Rapid Transit make getting around the rest of the Bay Area a breeze.

School data provided by 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.
