Zip code 94611 spans Oakland’s Montclair, Upper Rockridge, and the Piedmont Avenue corridor, where redwood-lined hills meet a lively village-and-avenue scene. Expect a mild, sunny Mediterranean microclimate with cool evenings; weekends draw neighbors to Joaquin Miller and Redwood Regional for bay views, hiking, and biking, while Montclair Village hosts a bustling Sunday farmers market. Piedmont Avenue blends history and flavor—Fentons Creamery, Commis, Timeless Coffee, and Piedmont Grocery sit near the Olmsted-designed Mountain View Cemetery and Julia Morgan’s Chapel of the Chimes. Daily life centers on walkable cafes, indie shops, and yoga studios, plus convenient access to Highways 13 and 24, AC Transit, and nearby Rockridge and MacArthur BART. Over the past few months, Zillow market trends show median asking rents hovering around $3,200–$3,600, with typical listings ranging from the high $2,000s for smaller flats to $5,000+ for larger hillside homes.
