Tucked away in the hills of Lower Hills/Trestle Glen, Crocker Highlands is one of Oakland’s most picturesque and prestigious residential enclaves. Designed in the early 20th century with the "Garden City" movement in mind, the neighborhood features winding, tree-lined streets that follow the natural contours of the land rather than a rigid grid. It is famous for its "Storybook" architecture, boasting meticulously maintained Tudors, Mediterraneans, and traditional estates that look like they were plucked from an English village.

The neighborhood is anchored by the beloved Crocker Highlands Elementary and is famously community-oriented; it’s the kind of place where neighbors know each other by name and Halloween is a major local event. While it feels secluded and quiet, it is just a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Lakeshore and Grand Avenues, giving residents the perfect balance of a peaceful sanctuary with immediate access to Oakland’s best amenities.
