Glenview / Dimond
Glenview is a small neighborhood with big charm. Located along Park Blvd. above 580, the neighborhood is well served by AC Transit Transbay bus system and casual carpool to SF. The small, quaint shopping district on Park is easily walkable from most of the neighborhood. Craftsman’s are the dominant home style and the gentle hills and well kept streets provide for great outlooks. Dimond Park, with its creek, walking trails, tennis courts, pool and playgrounds serves as a neighborhood hub. Check out Paulista for its great Beer Selection and delectable Brazilian food or head to Marzano for wood-fired pizza and Strauss soft serve.
The Dimond (as locals call it) is anchored by a large beautiful park (with a public pool, tennis courts, rec center, creek and many community activities) and a thriving shopping district. Located around Fruitvale Ave., above Highway 580, the neighborhood is well served by AC Transit Transbay buses and casual carpool to SF. The neighborhood stretches up the hills and includes rows of charming California bungalows, Spanish bungalows, English Tudors and even some condo buildings. Check out Grand Lake Kitchen’s Dimond location for delicious cocktails and sumptuous meals, the Oaklandish store for great local gear, and La Farine for the best French pastries around.
At the top of the mountain, the neighborhood is bordered by several giant East Bay Regional Parks, including Sibley, Redwood and Huckleberry, that provide access to hundreds of miles of walking and mountain biking trails. There are many hillside lots in Montclair that can provide views from Mount Tam all the way to the south bay. There are also lovely wooded canyons, creeks and varied terrain with a wide variety of housing, including large contemporary homes, mid-century marvels, mediterranean stunners, and quaint cottages. Check out Yellow Door for some delicious quick breakfast, Daughter Thai for a unique take on Southeast Asian cuisine and a Great, Good Place for Books for all your literary need.
