Oakmore Location

Oakland’s Oakmore District has a small neighborhood center on Liemert Street just over the Bridge off Park Boulevard.  This small commercial area offers a grocery store, Red Boy Pizza and a few other local businesses.  Three-fourths of a mile from the popular Glenview District area and just a bit further to the Montclair Village, Oakmore is well situated to take advantage of popular spots while keeping its community quiet.  Residents appreciate that both Highway 13 and the 580 are just a few minutes away, and that there’s casual carpooling on nearby Park Boulevard.

The Neighborhood Feel of Oakmore

Built in the 1920s and 1930s for people who worked in San Francisco and took the Key System- the Bay Area’s earlier version of BART- to work. Today, the tucked-away neighborhood of Oakmore remains secluded while still having access to the best of the East Bay.  Many Oakmore homes have lovely views of San Francisco and downtown Oakland. Best of all, this secluded, upscale neighborhood enjoys the feeling of a quiet and peaceful community.
