Claremont Hills, located between the Claremont District and Montclair Village, is a hillside and residential Oakland neighborhood with winding roads and Bay-facing outlooks. The neighborhood reads as a patchwork of mid-century moderns, contemporary rebuilds, and tucked-away cottages set into steep terrain. The character concentrates around the Claremont Avenue corridor by the Claremont Hotel, where café patios and small storefronts meet a steady flow of walkers and cyclists. Community pillars nearby include the historic Claremont Club & Spa, the Claremont Branch Library, and the California Shakespeare Theater in the hills. Footpaths and stair streets link pockets of homes to canyon edges and trailheads. A short drive up the ridge brings Redwood Regional Park’s redwood groves into the daily backdrop.
