Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Glenview Oakland, CA

Considering buying real estate in the Glenview District? A short distance from both the Montclair Village and the Lakeshore Business District, Glenview has its own small- but renowned- shopping street. In fact, Glenview has become a must-visit destination for Bay Area foodies. Thanks to the presence of three great restaurants in one residential block, in recent years, Diablo Magazine named Glenview “Oakland’s Gourmet Ghetto”. The Blackberry Bistro was the first, then Bellanico, and now Rumba Al Sur has opened to standing-room crowds.
