Welcome to Dogtown

Where Contemporary Design Meets the Cultural Pulse of West Oakland

Calling all trendsetters

Build your community here in the exciting, electric Dogtown neighborhood. Immerse yourself in some of the very best of the Bay, all at a value you won’t find anywhere else. 

Appreciate the delightful mixture of old and new as you embrace historic Victorians with new modern construction and mid-century bungalows. You can feel the history of this unique suburban corridor and see that it’s ready to meld the neighborhood icons with trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes. New developments and up-and-coming hot spots make this an exciting paradise in which to explore, grow and flourish.   

You have access to some of Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville’s sought-after treasures. Tacos El Rey is one of the most renowned food trucks in the area, keeping it authentic and fresh. Soba Ichi & June’s Pizza are some of our team’s favorites and go-tos in the neighborhood. Soul Blends Coffee Shop is a community-driven, roots inspired coffee shop, currently located inside of Pacific Pipe climbing gym. Black Girls Greenhouse, Brix Factory Brewing, and Ghost Town Brewing are just some of the watering holes we love.

Spend a lazy Sunday perusing the West Oakland farmers market: every Sunday, rain or shine featuring awesome local vendors we are proud to support. Also near Emeryville Public Market and Bay Street with the brand new Tokyo Central, along with  endless other storefronts to visit. Or watch a game of the Oakland Ballers at the newly renovated Raimondi Park.

Prescott Market Food hall

Prescott Market has become one of the more visible signs of change in Dogtown, adding a shared destination for coffee, food, and everyday neighborhood activity. With businesses like Highwire Coffee, Pizzeria Violetta, Almanac Beer Co., Cafe Noir, Woo Can Cook, and F.O.B West gathered in one space, it brings a steady sense of movement and connection to this part of West Oakland. It also fits naturally with the area’s mix of industrial history, creative energy, and evolving neighborhood life.
