Where to stay in Fruitvale
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Downtown Oakland is four miles northwest. Staying in Fruitvale means choosing the neighbourhood's own streets over the centre, with the Antonio Maria Peralta House and the Friends of Peralta Hacienda Historical Park inside walking range of a room there. Rooms are few in the neighbourhood.
Oakland carries the supply, and the Agnes Memorial Church Of God In Christ and the Alfred H. Cohen House are a short run out from a base in the centre.

About Fruitvale
What are the main landmarks in Fruitvale?
Four listed sites carry the district. Two of them belong to the Peralta name, the Antonio Maria Peralta House and the Friends of Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, which together make a single family the anchor of the local register. A church completes the set.
The Agnes Memorial Church Of God In Christ appears beside the Alfred H. Cohen House, the two entries that fall outside the Peralta holdings entirely.
What is the history of Fruitvale?
Fruitvale's entry opens without a founding year. What it does carry is the Peralta name twice over, in the Antonio Maria Peralta House and in the Friends of Peralta Hacienda Historical Park, and beyond those two entries the file records nothing about how the neighbourhood came to be. One demographic fact stands out.
Fruitvale holds Oakland's largest Hispanic community, and the Agnes Memorial Church Of God In Christ and the Alfred H. Cohen House stand among those streets.
Where is Fruitvale?
Fruitvale lies four miles southeast of Downtown Oakland, its streets gathered around the Antonio Maria Peralta House and the Peralta Hacienda grounds.
