Located to the east of downtown Oakland in the lower Oakland Hills, Redwood Heights enjoys gentle sea breezes and maintains a balmy Mediterranean climate. Many of the two- and three-bedroom houses for rent in this scenic neighborhood have amazing views of San Francisco Bay to the west. Just to the east, the green slopes of Redwood Regional Park beckon hikers, joggers, picnickers, and horseback riders. Within the neighborhood, the Redwood Heights Recreation Center has abundant sports and activity programs for children as well as aerobics, Tai Chi, yoga, folk dancing, and other classes for adults.
When you need to go shopping, head to Lincoln Square, the go-to shopping mall for Redwood Heights residents for decades. Choose from an assortment of gourmet burgers at Sparky's Giant Burgers. For oriental cuisine, try some sweet and sour pork or succulent seafood at Hunan Yuan Restaurant.
