Millsmont Real Estate
This area is a collection of many early housing subdivisions that began to grow around and adjacent to historic Mills College. This college was built on its present site in 1870 by Cyrus and Susan Mills. When first established in Benicia, California, it was called the Young Ladies Seminary, and filled an important need. Parents wishing to educate their daughters no longer needed to send their daughters to the East Coast for a "proper education".
In earlier times, the site was the location of a Native American village, and was explored by non-natives during the Juan Bautista de Anza expedition in 1776. It remained largely undeveloped until the early 1900's. As the trolley lines moved eastward from downtown Oakland, real estate growth exploded. By the early 1920's, paved streets, utilities, schools and stores served all the new homes that were being built.[ Read more about Millsmont...]

Newspaper advertisements were encouraging buyers to obtain lots in Mills College Park or Chimes Terrace (so named because it was within earshot of the Mills College bell tower). Still others were drawn to Chevrolet Park or Melrose Highlands or Mills Gardens.
One of the unique neighborhoods developed in 1926 was Normandy Gardens. The entrance to this unique neighborhood is at the corner of Picardy Drive and Seminary Avenue. It has handsome European style homes, and each Christmas, visitors from all over the Bay area come to view their elaborate and impressive Christmas lights.
Because of the many subdivisions, a buyer can find just about any style of home to meet their tastes. From small stucco to French Normandy, there is something to explore and purchase.[ Back To Top of Millsmont page]
