Rockridge (Upper), Oakland

 

LOCATION:

Upper Rockridge is located in the Oakland Hills to the south of Highway 24 and the Caldecott tunnel and below Highway 24.  It starts above Broadway and runs south (around the Mountain View Cemetery and the Claremont Country Club) down to Moraga Ave.  

TYPES OF HOMES:

Large sections of Upper Rockridge were burned during the 1991 Oakland Hills fire. Many grand scale homes were built back by some premier local architects and builders.  Now, without as many trees, some homes enjoy excellent views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge & downtown Oakland. The area is hilly but generally not to steep. The homes and lots are generally bigger than lower Rockridge.

FEATURES:

There is a smaller but very charming grocery store called Village Market. Upper Rockrige residents are only minutes to Montclair Village Shopping District as well as College Ave. Lower Rockridge and the infamous Market Hall. Some addresses in Upper Rockridge are assigned to Hillcrest School which is the premier school in OUSD. Some remapping of school zones are going on so be aware.
