About St.
James
St. James, located between Highland Avenue and Moraga Avenue, is a residential and hillside Piedmont neighborhood with winding streets and mature tree canopies. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highland Ave & Moraga Ave junction, where school-day foot traffic and dog-walk loops meet a quiet, polished streetscape. Architectural cues lean toward well-kept early-to-mid-century homes and traditional revivals set behind hedges and stonework. Piedmont Park and the Piedmont Recreation Department campus set the local rhythm with fields, courts, and community programming. The Piedmont Center for the Arts and Piedmont Community Hall add a civic-cultural layer without changing the calm. Dracena Park’s stairways and paths stitch the slopes into daily routines.
