Monte Vista Villas Condos for Sale — Oakland Hills
Monte Vista Villas is one of Oakland's largest hillside condo and townhome communities — a 404-unit development built in several phases on the site of the former Leona Rock Quarry, situated in the Oakland Hills just east of Interstate 580 off Leona Drive. Ranging from compact 1,000+ square foot condos to luxurious 2,500 square foot Jade Townhomes in the newest phase, Monte Vista Villas offers a rare combination of hillside setting, attached garage parking, in-unit laundry, and immediate freeway access that flatland condo buildings simply cannot match. Units higher on the hillside deliver distant Bay views, and Redwood Regional Park is directly above the community for hiking and trail access.

The newest phase — Jade Townhomes — offers the largest floor plans at up to 2,500 square feet with contemporary finishes throughout. A park and playground serve the community, and the 23 luxury single-family homes at the top of the hill on Campus Drive round out the development's full master plan.
