Prescott is a West Oakland neighborhood with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial surroundings. Buyers interested in condos, lofts, and other attached homes should compare the specific building, unit, parking, and immediate street setting rather than relying on a neighborhood label.
Browse available listings below or contact Bruce Wagg to compare buildings, ownership costs, and recent relevant sales.
Prescott listings may include condos, loft-style residences, townhomes, or other attached homes. Construction date, layout, sound transmission, storage, and outdoor space can differ substantially between buildings and units.
If a listing uses terms such as loft or live-work, verify the documented use, HOA rules, and applicable restrictions. Marketing language alone does not establish permission for business activity or a particular occupancy arrangement.
West Oakland Location
Prescott is part of West Oakland. Nearby transportation infrastructure, commercial activity, and major roads can affect a property's sound, access, parking, and daily routine. Visit at different times and test the route to work, groceries, transit, and other regular destinations.
The City of Oakland identifies Prescott in its West Oakland planning materials. For an individual property, the practical experience of its block and building is more useful than a general neighborhood description.

Prescott Condo Values
Comparable sales should reflect the same building or a genuinely similar property type when available. Floor level, condition, layout, parking, HOA dues, and outlook can make a significant difference between nearby units.
