Neighborhood

The School neighborhood is a small neighborhood along the MacArthur Freeway near Oakland’s Dimond District. The homes represent an eclectic mix of historic architectural styles, including many beautifully restored Victorians. Fruitvale Elementary School and Saint Jarlath School, both on the north end, give local students the option of walking to class quickly and safely.

A few blocks to the north, a small shopping and dining district surrounds the intersection of Fruitvale and MacArthur, giving folks a convenient area to hop in and pick up groceries or a bite to eat. The neighborhood itself is mostly free of retail and dining, but the quality more than makes up for the quantity—locals know that the unassuming Lucky Three Seven is home to some of the best Filipino food in the Bay Area.

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.
