Redwood Heights, located between Laurel and the Oakland Hills, is a residential and hillside Oakland neighborhood with winding streets and bay-view overlooks. The neighborhood reads as mid-century ranches, tidy bungalows, and split-level homes stepping up the slopes above MacArthur Boulevard. The character concentrates around the MacArthur Blvd and 35th Ave corridor, where corner markets, casual takeout counters, and everyday errands set a steady, local rhythm. Community pillars include Ghost Town Brewing (MacArthur), the Laurel Book Store, and Mills College at Northeastern University’s historic campus nearby. Redwood Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park frame the outdoor routine with redwood shade and trailheads. Transit and shopping cluster along MacArthur, while the hills keep the pace quieter.
