NORTH OAKLAND THE HAPPENING PLACE

By
Real Estate Agent with McGuire Real Estate

NORTH OAKLAND THE HAPPENING PLACE. About 5 or 6 years ago, a local developer penned the name, NOBE, to the North Oakland/Berkeley neighborhood below Alcatraz to West Oakland.

Ever since then, there’s been a deluge of Buyers, many from the City, wanting to make a home here. And no wonder.  NOBE has two BART stations (Ashby and MacArthur) where you can get to downtown SF in 15 minutes.  It’s a couple blocks to all the new restaurants of Oakland’s Uptown … as well as the new places happening along MLK and San Pablo.  It’s bordered by the East Bay’s other hot spots … Berkeley, Rockridge and Emeryville.  And it’s got very charming homes – Craftsman, Mediterraneans – in very close knit neighborhoods.

So it’s also not so surprising that prices in NOBE have outperformed other areas of the East Bay in the past year.  For instance, in the last 3 months, sale prices for 2 bedroom homes are averaging $739,000, up 22% from last year.  And for  3 bedroom and larger homes, the average price is now $877,000, up 26% over last year.

The Mediterranean at 723 61st Street, NOBE

One great example of a NOBE home is the Mediterranean at 723 61st Street we’ve just listed for $599,000.  Larger than a typical 2 bedroom at 1375 square feet, it has the NOBE charm – along with a huge yard – and it’s only 4 blocks to Ashby BART!

If y you’d like more information on 723 61st Street (www.723-61st.com) or any other NOBE homes, please give me a call: 510-847-2409.
