Estudillo Estates Neighborhood Guide

Estudillo Estates - San Leandro

A Grand Slice of Americana

Estudillo Estates is San Leandro at its most picturesque—tree-lined boulevards, character-rich and architecturally relevant homes, and a sense of community that has been nurtured for nearly a century. Originally established in 1925, the neighborhood has evolved while preserving its timeless charm. Architecture here is a curated mix: Tudor Revivals with peaked gables, Spanish Mediterraneans adorned with terracotta tile, stately Colonials, and cozy Craftsman bungalows.

Many homes rest on spacious lots, their gardens abundant with citrus and fruit trees, while others back onto the San Leandro Creek watershed—a natural corridor that invites exploration for children and adults alike. Streets are wide and walkable, shaded by mature trees, encouraging neighbors to gather, stroll, and linger. 

Residents range from nuclear physicists to teachers, start-up CEOS to medical personnel. It's a place people move to for vibrant community and connection. Community events include the famous July 4th Potluck, epic Annual Chili Cook-Off with dozens of entries, and well-sought-after Halloween experience that draws children from miles around.

Roosevelt Elementary School is beloved and know for it's long-time teachers and legendary PTA. Washington Elementary offers a well-loved Spanish language dual-immersion program that attracts students from all over San Leandro.

Residents value not just the beauty but the balance—convenient access to BART, AC Transit, and major freeways paired with a serene, residential character. Locals love frequenting Estudillo Produce & Deli for fresh ingredients or grabbing a casual bite at Boulevard Burgers or Main Street Bagels. The ever-evolving downtown area boasts Sons of Liberty Alehouse, Fieldwork Brewing, a new Sprouts location and so much more! Recreation is close at hand too, with Farrelly Pool, the newly renovated Memorial Park and multiple parks offering green reprieve.

Homes typically range from $775,000 to $1.6 million, depending on size and updates. With their architectural pedigree and enduring charm, many sell quickly—often in only a week and above asking.
