LAUREL, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA


Macarthur Avenue, the heart of the Laurel district.

Location of Laurel in the City of Oakland.

'Laurel' is one of the many culturally diverse neighborhoods in Oakland, California. It is situated between the foot of the Oakland hills and Mills College. At the heart of the neighborhood lies MacArthur Boulevard, a bustling shopping area with annual festivals and many local shops.
The Laurel, much as other surrounding communities, continues to change as older homeowners move away and younger families move in with higher incomes. The neighborhood shows signs of these changes as older homes are renovated and community involvement cleans up "troubled" areas.
Surrounding MacArthur Boulevard is a residential area, an elementary school, as well as two highways (Interstate 580 and Highway 13).
