Centered on the east side of lake merritt and stretching to the oakland estuary, 94606 blends historic victorians and prewar apartments with newer waterfront spots at brooklyn basin. You’ll find a diverse cultural mix and a lively dining scene along e 12th st and international blvd (think Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican, and Lao eats), neighborhood coffee shops, Asian and Latin markets, independent gyms, and quick access to green spaces like san antonio park, union point park, and the lake’s jogging and biking paths. Bay breezes keep the Mediterranean climate mild, with sunny afternoons ideal for waterfront strolls and paddle time on the estuary.
