Rockridge, an Oakland Community

Rockridge is a nationally recognized model of a sustainable neighborhood commercial district centered around multiple transportation options with an emphasis on the area’s "walkability". The vibrant commercial heart of Rockridge is College Avenue. At its center are the BART Station and popular Market Hall. College Avenue is graced by the Julia Morgan-designed Presbyterian Church and the community designed Arts & Crafts Rockridge Library. It sports professional offices, personal services and a wide variety of retail shops and acclaimed restaurants. Surrounding the avenue on tree-lined streets are one and two-family homes, ranging in styles from Craftsman and Victorian to California Mediterranean and ultra-modern. The internationally recognized California College of Arts, a Jesuit seminary, two elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school serve the families in this diverse neighborhood of artists, professionals and working-class residents.
