REDWOOD HEIGHTS

Redwood Heights  is centered around Redwood Road, which was once a logging road. Currently, Redwood Road is the designation for 35th Avenue starting about a mile or so north of MacArthur Boulevard between Victor Avenue and the Highway 13. It includes A Recreation center that doubles as an after-school daycare and one of the oldest and most active neighborhood associations.

The homes in Redwood Heights date mainly from the 1920s-1950s and vary greatly in style, from craftsman to "storybook" to ranch; the first development in the area was Avenue Terrace. There is a large rock/stone "obelisk" on the corner of 35th Ave and Victor that says "Avenue Terrace" and may have once been a marker for the development. There is also an Avenue Terrace park, which is located elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Redwood Heights Elementary is thought to be one of the highest regarded Elementary schools in the Oakland School System.
