The Location

Arguably the best residence in Piedmont; a city that many consider to be the preeminent address in the East Bay. The gated estate is private and secure, and yet its coveted location is walking distance to Community Hall and Piedmont Park. This home is a hillside oasis, withdrawn from city hustle and bustle but near enough to enjoy all the attractions San Francisco and the Bay Area has to offer.

Piedmont, CA

The charter city of Piedmont is located in Alameda County in the hills of Oakland, overlooking the San Francisco Bay. The residential community consists of single-family homes, multiple parks and outdoor landscaped areas and is known for its high-ranking school district, low crime rate and high property value.

Once known as “The City of Millionaires” due to the high concentration of residents who could boast that distinction, the heart of Piedmont is home to many grand estate-like homes. Gracious living is a phrase that easily comes to mind when viewing the well-manicured lawns and beautifully appointed homes in the area.

Although in close proximity to Oakland with all of its urban appeal and amenities, Piedmont has a distinct sense of community. Within the city’s 1.7 square-mile area, there are five city parks, multiple children’s playgrounds, and lush wooded trails.
