Cathedral Gardens is a vibrant and affordable rental housing community thoughtfully designed for families. Proudly situated near downtown, just half a mile from BART, it offers 100 welcoming apartment homes that harmoniously blend new construction with the restoration of historic structures. The community showcases two beautifully designed buildings—one rising three stories and the other four—flanking a charming 110-year-old historic rectory building. The innovative four-story structure features a sunken parking garage, maximizing space while maintaining the area’s aesthetic. Residents can enjoy a delightful landscaped podium deck, providing an inviting outdoor space to relax and socialize.

This wonderful community is the product of a collaborative effort between the Oakland Housing Authority and the dedicated nonprofit developer EAH Housing. Together, these organizations have made great strides in addressing the pressing need for affordable housing in Oakland. Cathedral Gardens isn’t just a place to live; it’s a positive step towards creating a vibrant and supportive neighborhood for families to thrive.

Cathedral Gardens is LEED® Platinum certified.
