This historic hotel was a popular spot for jazz and blues legends like Billie Holliday and has transformed into a multi-use building for housing, live performances, and youth education programs. Locals also bond at special events like the West Oakland Grown Harvest Festival, an annual event celebrating healthy food. This diverse neighborhood is home to restaurants from every cuisine, but residents also appreciate Hoover-Foster’s proximity to Uptown’s trendy eateries and nightlife spots.
Hoover-Foster blends the old and new with a variety of architectural styles. Rentals range from charming houses with bay windows and witch hat towers to modern apartments and condos. Getting in and out of Hoover-Foster proves easy thanks to the abundant public transit options and the neighborhood's convenient location at the intersection of Interstates 580 and 980.
