key features
Crocker Highlands
Oakland’s Crocker Highlands and its neighbor Trestle Glen are often grouped together, the two having a shared history and a unifying style. The neighborhood was designed in 1917 by the Olmsted Brothers, sons of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, following the philosophy of the English garden city movement. This meant winding streets that followed the natural contours of the hills and ample green spaces throughout. Furthermore, the purchase of each tract of land required that the owner would spend a significant minimum to build a home, with many buyers spending far more. As a result, the area boasts some of the finest early twentieth-century houses in Oakland, with designs from Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck, including Tudors, Spanish Mediterranean, and Beaux Arts houses. For daily groceries or a night out, it’s an easy stroll or bike ride over to the Grand Lake and Lakeshore commercial district for shopping, dining, and a large Saturday farmers market.
