Many homes list below $1 million and sell for well over asking, so list price alone is a poor guide. We can show you recent nearby sales for any address.
Redwood Heights offers storybook Tudors from the 1930s, cozy bungalows and mid-century homes with decks built to catch the golden hour. Recent sales ranged from smaller two-bedroom homes of about 900 square feet to four-bedroom homes of roughly 3,000 square feet.
The neighborhood is named for its elementary school, and the school acts as a community hub, with families meeting at drop-off and at school events. Mikayla and her older sister are both alumni, and her sister later taught kindergarten and first grade there. Check current school boundaries with the Oakland Unified School District before you buy.
Redwood Regional Park, with its miles of hiking and biking trails, is a short drive away. Closer to home, the Redwood Heights Recreation Center offers classes and activities for kids and adults.

“Jeff Weissman was an absolute professional to work with. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and deeply understands the Bay Area market. Throughout the process, Jeff was thoughtful in his guidance, clear in his communication, and acted as an advocate for our interests. What stood out most was his strategic mindset and calm, steady approach. Selling a home can be overwhelming, but Jeff brought clarity and confidence at every step, helping us make informed decisions without pressure. He was always available to talk things through and took the time to understand our priorities. When he pushed back, he did so very thoughtfully. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a realtor who is smart, honest, and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for their clients.”

YES! Locals love the 1/4 mile section of Rettig Rd. that’s closed to through traffic. It has become a favorite place to walk, bike, let the dogs run free, or just sit & enjoy the peace & quiet of the Oak & Bay tree canopy over the year-round gurgling of Peralta Creek.
