Redwood Heights, Oakland, California
- Redwood Heights, Oakland, California
Redwood Heights is a mostly middle-class, integrated residential neighborhood in the hills of Oakland, California. It is centered around Redwood Road, which was once a logging road. Currently, Redwood Road is the designation for 35th Avenue starting about a mile or so north of MacArthur Boulevard between Victor Avenue and the Warren Freeway (State Route 13). It includes Redwood Heights Elementary School and a recreation center that doubles as an after-school daycare.
The homes in Redwood Heights date mainly from the 1920s-1950s and vary greatly in style, from craftsman to "storybook" to ranch; the first development in the area was Avenue Terrace. There is a large rock/stone "obelisk" on the corner of 35th Ave and Victor that says "Avenue Terrace" and may have once been a marker for the development. There is also an Avenue Terrace park, which is located elsewhere in the neighborhood.
The Redwood Heights Neighborhood Association (est. 1944) is one of Oakland's oldest neighborhood associations.
