5405 Carlton St

A small, mid-century low-rise condominium in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood, this 1966-built boutique property contains 17 units across a single low-rise block. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts with varied convertible or bonus rooms, many arranged as corner residences that maximize cross-ventilation and views. Architecturally the building reflects restrained mid-century proportions—large arched and picture windows, modest balconies and terraces, and decorative fireplaces in several homes. Interiors range from original period details to fully renovated units featuring modern kitchens, marble or quartz counters, updated baths, radiant flooring in some units, and double-paned windows. Common areas are simple and residential: a secure entry, elevator access, deeded garage parking with individual storage rooms, and a shared laundry area used by a few units. Outdoor amenities are limited to private balconies, terraces or patios attached to select units rather than communal landscaping. The HOA has approved an option for owners to install EV chargers; pet ownership is allowed with restrictions. Location is a key asset: the building sits a few blocks from College Avenue’s shops and restaurants, close to Rockridge BART, Transbay express buses, AC Transit stops, and direct access to Highways 24, 13 and 580, with nearby parks and country-club amenities contributing to an active, walkable neighborhood lifestyle.
