Welcome to Crocker Highlands & Trestle Glen
Crocker Highlands and Trestle Glen sit just east of Lake Merritt, laid out in 1917 by the Olmsted Brothers — sons of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted — following the English garden city philosophy of winding streets that follow the natural contours of the hills. Today it's one of Oakland's wealthiest and most architecturally consistent pockets, with income levels higher than over 92% of neighborhoods nationwide. Get in touch with The DiMaggio Betta Group.

History & Design
The neighborhood's name has a lighter origin than its stately homes suggest — Trestle Glen is named for a short-lived amusement park that opened in 1893 at the end of the East Oakland streetcar line. The Olmsted Brothers' 1917 design replaced any trace of that with deliberately curving streets and generous green space, a layout that still defines how the neighborhood feels to walk through today.
Architecture
Few Oakland neighborhoods can match the architectural pedigree here — homes designed by Julia Morgan and Bernard Maybeck sit among Tudors, Spanish Mediterraneans, and Beaux Arts residences, most built no later than 1939. It's a concentration of early 20th-century craftsmanship that's kept remarkably intact.
Schools
Crocker Highlands Elementary, which serves both neighborhoods within Oakland Unified, is consistently ranked among the top public elementary schools in California and nationally — a significant draw for families evaluating Oakland's east side.
Lake Merritt & Everyday Life
The neighborhood's location makes daily life easy — it's an easy stroll or bike ride to the Grand Lake and Lakeshore commercial district for shopping, dining, and a large Saturday farmers market, with Lake Merritt itself just beyond that.
