There’s no place like Oak Knoll. And there never will be again.
Like every place that speaks to your soul, Oak Knoll begins with the land. Serene. Majestic. Inviting. Uplifting. A 167-acre sanctuary where you can walk, bike, run, play and focus on the pursuits—and the people—you love most.
Tucked away in the heart of Oakland Hills, where the city hustle is happily replaced by golden hills of native oaks, a whole new community is capturing a way of life that’s hard to find. One where classic neighborhoods are knitted into the landscape. Miles of planned paths lead to wide-open wonder. Two village hubs—one new, one historic—hum with urban spirit and sociability. And every moment celebrates the true meaning of getting away.
With great care and stewardship, Oak Knoll is taking shape. Welcoming nature-loving locals and newcomers to a sunny haven that you can call home.
35 minutes from the city. Worlds from the pace.
Located just off the 580 freeway, you’d never know this sheltered pocket of peace and pastoral beauty exists. Oak Knoll is just that way by design. Offering quick proximity to Downtown Oakland and the dynamic buzz of the Bay Area. But with a surprising stress-melting mindset that starts from the moment you arrive.
When over a third of your community is preserved open space, the possibilities are infinite.
Imagine a rustic entry bridge reminiscent of charmed railways. A restored creek fringed by meandering trails. A revitalized clubhouse in the center of it all. Plus plenty of parks, outdoor artworks and a future, vibrant village center at Oak Knoll’s front door. All serving as a gateway to East Bay’s pristine wooded canyons and preserves beyond. That’s just what we did.
Once upon a knoll, a few sport and nature lovers made a little history. Now, it’s your turn.
Only this time, you won’t just make history—you’ll live it. In a spot so special it inspired a famed 1920s golf and country club beloved by families. Nurtured half a century of soldiers through three wars. And still resonates with a welcoming spirit of warm comfort and togetherness. Soon, Oak Knoll’s next generation will be able to call it home.

Location
Call Oak Knoll home and wide-open nature will beckon from your backyard. Beyond the rambling parks, trails and river that runs through it, the community is right next door to hundreds of acres of protected regional parklands. When you need to zip into Downtown Oakland, the 580 freeway is just a stone’s throw away.
Community
Hidden here is an idyllic sanctuary that speaks to both your outdoor and urban sides. With plenty of fresh-air pursuits, parks, trails, a community clubhouse, future village center and, ultimately, more than 900 new neighbors and friends—leaving over a third of the land’s 167 acres as wide-open-wonderful space to enjoy.
History
Over the decades, the Naval Hospital provided quality care for active duty and retired personnel of the Armed Forces and their dependents during the Korean War, Vietnam and peacetime. It was also home to major advancements in patient care, training and research. During the 1990s, the facilities were decommissioned, creating a new story in the enduring heritage of Oak Knoll.
Homes
Inspired by the feel and character of the Bay Area’s beloved streetcar neighborhoods—like Piedmont, Montclair and Claremont—Oak Knoll will perfect the laid-back, small-town atmosphere that makes these places a much sought-after address. Nurturing a palpable sense of community within this quiet, sheltered valley.
