Ellis Partners, LLC. has declared Oakland's emerging ambassador of culture, excitement, commerce and community to be Jack London Square, a reflection of the city's vibrant historical roots and the adventurous spirit of its namesake, author Jack London. Combining the energy of waterfront commerce, the allure of celebrated cuisine and the fantastic cultural diversity that comprises the East Bay Area, Jack London Square has become the new premier Bay Area destination.

Visitors and residents can stroll along the miles of pedestrian pathways that wind along the water's edge. Lively plazas and park-like public spaces overlook the sparkling marina and offer inspiring views across the waters of San Francisco Bay. The historic Jack London District is an eclectic community with a mix of new homes, retail, restaurants and offices. This vital urban neighborhood has recently experienced a renaissance with new residential developments attracting an educated and engaged population of professionals. Over 5,000 new housing units have been built or are planned in the immediate area.

Jack London Square continues to be the best urban infill transportation driven housing location in the state. Whether traveling for work or fun, Oakland's central location makes it easy to get around. Travel by car, BART, bus, train, ferry, or The Bond's water taxi! The Bond is in close proximity to the Oakland-Alameda-San Francisco ferry, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations, AC Transit buses, Amtrak train station, and Oakland International Airport.

Oakland's landscape includes a mixture of architecture styles, a modern skyline, and bustling commercial and industrial areas, all nestled between beautiful hillsides and the San Francisco Bay. Oakland offers endless opportunities with its cafes, restaurants, galleries and museums as well as the Chabot Space & Science Center, the Old Oakland Farmers' Market, and the Oakland Zoo. With all it has to offer and Oakland's continual growth and thriving community it's no wonder Oakland is one of the most desirable places to reside in the Bay Area!
