Rockridge Real Estate
In the late 1800's, the area now known as Rockridge was mostly scattered with farms and farmhouses. By the late 1800's there were many Italian immigrants moving into the west side of College avenue, and many residents sold produce that they grew in their own gardens. In the years between 1890 and 1910, the population of Oakland tripled from around 50,000 to 150,000. By 1920, the population had reached 215,000, and the development that came along with the population infusion helped to support what is now an exclusive area of Oakland. Just as they did for the rest of the country, electric street railways were changing the face of transportation by the 1890's.
Starting in 1905, College avenue had it's own street car that could get people to downtown Oakland and downtown Berkeley. These days, the street cars have been replaced with Bart, which is a big reason why Rockridge is such a desireable area to live in for people who want to be close to mass transportation while living in an exclusive area. The two most distinguishing characteristics of Rockridge are the Bart station and College avenue itself.
Today, College avenue is known for it's upscale restaraunts, popular deli's and coffee shops as well as boutiques and specialty stores. During the day it's a bustling retail sector with a lot of foot traffic.
