Neighborhood

Settled into the low hills of North Oakland lies the Oakland Avenue-Harrison Street neighborhood, often called HarriOak or Westlake by the locals. With streets lined with established trees and comfortably sized homes, HarriOak serves as a popular choice with young professionals and families. A decidedly residential neighborhood, this area sits just moments away from a strong business corridors along Broadway while remaining tucked away from the bustle.

This close-knit neighborhood runs an active block watch to keep the area safer. Many streets host block parties and homeowners share produce from their home gardens with neighbors. Residents enjoy close proximity to major employer Kaiser Permanente and an easy 2-mile commute to Downtown Oakland and a 4-mile commute north to the UC Berkeley campus.
