An eclectic Oakland neighborhood with a little bit of Berkeley spirit.

BART Public Transportation Rail Service Medical Healthcare Walkable

Conveniently positioned in North Oakland at the junction of Interstates 580 and 980, Mosswood is a delightful neighborhood with a quirky personality. The community is mainly residential, with a full network of tree-lined sidewalks allowing residents to walk to the neighborhood’s various shops and cafes with ease.

On the southeast corner of the neighborhood, Mosswood Park is a terrific place to unwind, with playgrounds, sports fields, and a popular community amphitheater. Several branches of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center are located within easy walking distance of the neighborhood, making Mosswood a highly convenient place for healthcare professionals to live.

Just north of the neighborhood, an eclectic mix of coffee houses, taverns, arts centers, and international restaurants line Telegraph Avenue, which runs all the way up to the UC Berkeley campus; Piedmont Avenue, a couple blocks to the east, provides a similarly diverse offering of shopping, dining, and entertainment.

The close proximity to the interstate and the availability of BART rail service from MacArthur Station give residents the freedom to reach anywhere in the Bay Area easily, with or without the use of a personal vehicle.
