Crocker Highlands / Trestle Glen

Directly south of the City of Piedmont and east of downtown Oakland is the charming community of Crocker Highlands, also referred to as Trestle Glen.

Ideal for families, this laurel-lined glen along one of the creeks tributary to Lake Merritt, has been described as a "Father Knows Best neighborhood of the 21st century." Curving roads lined with greenery pass neighborhood parks and lead to a variety of Craftsman, Prairie, and Neo-Mediterranean style homes from the 20s, 30s and 40s, many designed by famed architects Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck. In fact, many of Crocker Highlands’ residents belong to Lakeshore Home’s Association, the second oldest homeowners association West of the Mississippi. This group is still dedicated to preserving and increasing the "wonderful natural beauty of the property" and making sure that "no home can never be damaged by any unsightly or undesirable structure upon adjacent property or in any section of the tract."

Nearby conveniences include a variety of retail including the lively shops and restaurants of the Grand Lake/Lakeshore area, Glenview and Montclair Village. BART and area freeways are also easily accessible.
