West Oakland
A rare, ultra-cool true live-work space in a historic Oakland warehouse — where creativity, commerce, and home life collide. ✨
This spacious, industrial-chic historical live-work warehouse space offers real storefront frontage, making it ideal for a wide range of public-facing businesses and creative endeavors — plus the comforts of home.
Currently operating as a high-end hair salon + stylish apartment, the flexible layout could easily transform into a retail shop, art or design studio, café concept, clothing boutique, photo or video production space, or virtually any creative storefront you can imagine. There’s even space for photo shoots and a dark room.The vibe is authentic, raw, and inspiring — concrete floors and columns, dramatic ceiling heights, and true warehouse urban-cool character throughout. 🏭
Behind the storefront, the space lives beautifully as a home. A remodeled kitchen, dramatic decorator touches, and a huge open area perfect for entertaining (or work) create an easy flow for daily life or hosting. Right outside the kitchen is your private garden patio — a rare city oasis retreat 🌿 — and enjoy the convenience of two deeded parking spaces, located right next to the unit.
🧩 The Floor Plan Is Super Flexible:
- Configure as a 3BR / 2BA residence
- A 2BR home plus storefront or studio
- Or a 2BR / 1BA home with a separate 1BR / 1BA guest or work space
This is not a cookie-cutter property — it’s funky, unique, and truly special, set within one of Oakland’s most dynamic, creative neighborhoods. A space that adapts to your vision, your business, and your lifestyle. 🎨
You have to see it to believe it — and to imagine how it becomes your perfect next chapter.

West Oakland represents a pivotal neighborhood in Oakland's urban landscape, with a complex history that reflects the city's most significant economic and cultural transformations. The area's historical significance is deeply rooted in its role as a critical transportation and industrial hub, shaped by the expansion of railroads and maritime industries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Transportation defines the neighborhood's connectivity, with multiple AC Transit lines providing extensive local service. The West Oakland BART Station offers critical regional transportation, connecting residents directly to San Francisco, Berkeley, and other Bay Area destinations. Additionally, the neighborhood's proximity to major highways, including I-80 and I-880, provides exceptional vehicular access.
Mandela Parkway serves as the neighborhood's primary commercial corridor, offering a diverse range of dining, shopping, and essential services.
