A rare opportunity in one of East Oakland’s most strategically positioned corridors. This 3 bedroom, 1 bath home sits on a large, entirely usable lot with a backyard garden and entertainment space framed by sweeping views of Oakland and the Bay Area — downtown Oakland, the Bay Bridge, and the Golden Gate Bridge all from your own yard. Mature fruit trees, generous storage throughout, and a two-car garage round out the practical side. A separate private entrance opens up significant ADU potential for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or additional income. Buyer to verify all development possibilities with the City of Oakland. The location puts you at the center of Oakland’s next chapter. The long-planned Oak Knoll development is moving forward at the former Naval hospital site off Mountain Boulevard — 918 homes plus a village center with retail, restaurants, and open space. New commercial and multifamily construction is reshaping the Bancroft Avenue and 73rd Avenue corridor. And the 112-acre Coliseum complex is in the process of transferring to a development group with plans for housing, retail, and entertainment. The Oakland Zoo and Knowland Park are minutes away, with Anthony Chabot Regional Park, Lake Chabot Golf Course, and miles of East Bay Regional Park trails just up the road. Mills College at Northeastern University, Merritt College, and Holy Names are all nearby, along with Eastmont Town Center, Lincoln Square and Montclair Village for everyday shopping. Open House Saturday 9/26 at 11-1pm.

Toler Heights, located between Seminary Avenue and the San Leandro border, is a residential and hillside Oakland neighborhood with curving streets and bay-facing views. The scene concentrates around the Seminary Avenue corridor near Foothill Boulevard, where corner markets, taquerias, and bus stops set a practical, everyday rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and compact postwar cottages line sloped blocks, with stair-stepped lots and mature trees shaping the streetscape. The neighborhood reads quieter than the flats, with quick shifts from ridge-top outlooks to commercial strips. For a local anchor, the Oakland Zoo and Knowland Park sit just uphill, adding trailheads and open space to the backdrop.
