Glen Highlands Homes For Sale
Settled in the hills above Oakland is the Glen Highlands Neighborhood. The types of homes found here can be new, and sometimes dramatic, contemporary architecture, or the more comfortable traditional Spanish stucco or Craftsman styles. Many are built into the hillsides, and are multi-storied to take advantage of amazing views of canyons, trees, or the San Francisco Bay area. Everything about these homes meshes with nature.
Glen Highlands Real Estate in Oakland
The greenbelt concept continues with its direct proximity to family recreational areas. Directly below Tilden Regional Park, south of the North Oakland Regional Sports Center, and across from the Temescal Regional Recreation Center, residents can find a world of opportunity to enjoy team sports, hiking, walking, running or bicycling throughout this expansive open space just out their door.
If less strenous activities are wanted, this neighborhood is just minutes away from the delightful specialty foods, restaurants and shops of the Rockridge, Elmwood and Montclair shopping centers. It is probably one of the few neighborhoods in Oakland that allows residents to have such an immediate and intensive choice of top notch shopping. This area's central location is a result of being adjacent to Highways 13 and 24, which allow commuters to have immediate access to any Bay area city in a matter of minutes.
