Highland Park, located between MacArthur Boulevard and the Oakland Hills, is a residential and hillside Oakland neighborhood with winding streets and bay-facing outlooks. A compact cluster of corner markets and takeout counters concentrates the neighborhood’s day-to-day rhythm around MacArthur Boulevard near 39th Avenue. The Laurel District’s MacArthur corridor adds a steady run of independent storefronts, with Ghost Town Brewing and Degrees Plato anchoring the local food-and-drink scene. Housing leans toward early-20th-century bungalows and modest Craftsman-era homes, often set above the street on terraced lots. Dimond Park and Sausal Creek shape the landscape with shaded paths and a cooler, creekside feel. Transit lines along MacArthur keep the neighborhood connected to the rest of Oakland.
