Glenview is in the Oakland Hills and the homes are characterized by California Bungalow and mission revival designs. These slightly slanted streets have views of the Bay and San Francisco from some spots. Nestled amongst cute convenience stores and restaurants, this region borders the small town of Piedmont at Trestle Glen. It has a population of nearly 6,000 residents.
Some areas of historical value are the Fourth Avenue District, Cameron Tract and the Cameron Property. The Cameron family was ranchers and built areas for “medium-wage earners” in contrast to the Trestle Glen and Crocker Highland communities. It was a predominately affluent region that had very small commercial activity. It still provided the essentials along with the famous Glenview Branch Library that operated for nearly 50 years.
Park Boulevard is the primary supplier of entertainment with a number of shops, restaurants and grocery stores. It has established a reputation for fine dining by opening venues such as: Bellanico, Blackberry Bistro and Rumbo Al Sur. In a 2009 review by Diablo Magazine, reviewers referred to Glenview as “Oakland’s Gourmet Ghetto.” The streets are sincerely gorgeous and connect to nearby Dimond Park equipped with a rec center, swimming pools, playgrounds and walking/riding trails to Sausal Creek. Glenview’s second biggest area of commerce is located on Macarthur Boulevard but is largely underdeveloped compared to that of Park Boulevard.
