1p494 - City Crossing

Longfellow sits in central Oakland, with a mostly residential grid and convenient access to nearby commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s historic character shows in its older homes and ties to Oakland’s streetcar-era growth. Local cafés, restaurants, and shops line portions of Telegraph Avenue and San Pablo Avenue, while Oakland’s broader arts and nightlife offerings are reachable by transit or bike. Green space and outdoor recreation are close by at Mosswood Park, which has open lawns, sports facilities, and a playground; the Oakland Public Library’s Golden Gate Branch is another nearby neighborhood resource. Mild Bay Area weather makes walking and cycling practical throughout much of the year, though hills and cooler, foggier conditions are more common farther west. BART stations and AC Transit bus routes connect Longfellow with downtown Oakland and other parts of the East Bay. Longfellow neighborhood rent has a median of $2,800 per month and a typical range of $1,300 to $4,800.
