Neighborhood History

Crocker Highlands was founded in 1912, named for Charles Crocker — the railroad tycoon whose name became synonymous with ambition and prestige — and developed as a master-planned residential tract just east of Lake Merritt. Its early history centers on architectural distinction and carefully considered design, with Tudor, Mediterranean, and Craftsman homes lining leafy streets built for families who valued both beauty and permanence.

The historic entrance columns on Trestle Glen Road and Crocker Highlands Elementary School are the landmarks that anchor the neighborhood's identity — visible reminders of a community that has always taken pride in its surroundings and its standards.

That tradition of care, diversity, and active community life is what the MY-NHD Crocker Highlands collection is built on — neighborhood gear for residents who appreciate where they live and the history behind it.
