About South

Prescott

South Prescott, located between West Oakland and Emeryville, is a waterfront and industrial Oakland neighborhood with working piers and warehouse blocks. The character concentrates around the Mandela Parkway corridor near 7th Street, where wide medians, murals, and light-industrial storefronts set a maker-forward tone. Converted lofts and compact bungalows sit beside active rail lines and port-serving businesses, giving the streetscape a utilitarian edge. Raimondi Park anchors local recreation with ballfields and open sightlines to the Port of Oakland cranes. The Bay Bridge path and shoreline segments frame bike-first routes and big-sky views. Food and drink landmarks like Horn Barbecue and Ghost Town Brewing serve as familiar gathering points.
