Why Maxwell Park?

Maxwell Park is cherished for its strong sense of community and its rare balance of residential living with easy access to city life. Nestled between High Street and 55th Avenue, just south of I-580, this beloved East Oakland neighborhood offers a welcoming, neighborhood feel while staying closely connected to everything Oakland has to offer.

Originally developed by John P. Maxwell, many homes date back to the 1920s and 1930s, giving the area its distinctive charm and architectural character. Compared to North Oakland and Downtown, Maxwell Park continues to offer more attainable price-per-square-foot value—making it especially appealing to buyers seeking space, charm, and long-term livability.

Outdoor lovers enjoy quick access to Leona Canyon Regional Open Space and Redwood Regional Park, with miles of hiking and biking trails perfect for weekend adventures or daily resets in nature. The neighborhood’s own Maxwell Park—near Allendale Avenue and Lilac Street—adds to the community feel, with mature trees, a playground, and close proximity to the longtime Peter Pan Nursery School, serving children ages 2–6 since 1947.

Families are drawn to the area for its access to well-regarded schools, including Melrose Leadership Academy, and its walkable, community-oriented streets. Just a few blocks away, MacArthur Boulevard offers everyday conveniences and local favorites like World Ground Café, Fist of Flour Doughjo, and Everett & Jones BBQ, along with neighborhood retail and services.

Commuters love Maxwell Park for its exceptional connectivity. AC Transit Route 14 provides a direct, under-15-minute ride to Fruitvale BART, making it possible to reach Downtown Oakland or San Francisco’s Financial District in under 30 minutes. Easy freeway access and multiple transit options make commuting throughout the East Bay seamless.

With its historic charm, vibrant community, access to nature, and unbeatable connectivity, it’s easy to see why so many people love calling Maxwell Park home.
