About Downtown Oakland

Downtown Oakland's residential market includes converted lofts in historic buildings, modern high-rise condos, and renovated Victorians on the edges of the central business district. Our staging approach celebrates the neighborhood's urban character—industrial details in conversions, floor-to-ceiling windows in newer construction, and the flexibility of open floor plans. We emphasize proximity to BART, walkable restaurants and entertainment, and the professional lifestyle that attracts downtown buyers. With the market showing strong year-over-year appreciation and decreasing days on market, strategic staging helps properties stand out in an evolving neighborhood.
