Snapshot of Montclair Village, Oakland


Montclair Village is one of my favorite communities in Oakland. Here’s the scoop:

  • The vibe is small-town
  • It’s located in the beautiful tree-covered Oakland Hills
  • I can get to it easily, because it’s close to major freeways and bus lines
  • Families love the public elementary and middle schools
  • There are many stair paths from the streets above that lead to the village
  • There are great walking paths
  • Drive along Scout Road and you might see a family of wild turkeys crossing the road

What to do in Montclair Village…

  • Visit the Sunday Farmers’ Market. It’s year round. (And have a picnic at the park.)
  • Go to my FAVORITE sushi restaurant and eat some cutting edge sushi rolls at Kakui
  • Take a walk on the trail at the top of LaSalle, or take the short drive up Colton or Snake Road and you are at Huckleberry Preserve and Skyline Gate for gorgeous hiking trails
  • Play tennis in the public court.

Hacienda Peralta Park and Red Oak Realty, Oakland


The other week, Red Oak Realty was a sponsor at Rebuilding Together Oakland at Peralta Hacienda Park in the Fruitvale district of Oakland.  This was a day for people to come together and clean up a neighborhood staple.  This park is gorgeous and as I was pruning, I thought, “why have I not been here before?”    Since this clean up day I have visited their website and noticed they do events.  Thursday December 2nd,  A Night of Zorro, the myth, the music, and the movie at Peralta Hacienda Park.

For more information about how to qualify for service for Rebuilding Together Oakland, click here!

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, click here to learn more about the grounds.

Red Oak was proud to be a sponsor at this community event.
