Glenview Building Project-logos black.png

Oakland's Glenview Building Project was created and sponsored by LOYLDOYL of The Upland Show.


On Nov 4, 2021 LOYLDOYL announced via Youtube that he would be offering Glenview properties for anyone who builds a structure in Glenview for 8,000 UPX. At the time the floor in Glenview was well over 10,000 UPX. See:

Uplanders quickly took up this offer and we have seen construction in Glenview surpass all other neighborhoods, including Oakland's largest node; Mosswood.
As of this writing Glenview now has more completed structures than any other neighborhood in Oakland. With 237 buildings complete and over 130 spark working on more, we expect Glenview to become the largest Oakland node very soon.

Glenview Facts[edit | edit source]

A sweet neighborhood of California bungalows in the lower Oakland Hills, Glenview feels more like a very quiet Rockridge with a couple good restaurants and well-manicured gardens. The main strip of Park Boulevard is pretty much where anything happens now and where it happened then: More than a century ago, the now bustling street was a path where redwoods traveled to get from where they were felled to the lumberyard. The elementary school is Art Deco, built in 1927; and the local breakfast joint serves dishes like eggs (and grits!) till 3:30 p.m. on the weekends. A lazy slice of California.

Who dwells here: Residents looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life

History[edit | edit source]

The neighborhood was subdivided around 1910 by the developer Wickham Havens Inc (in which Walter Leimert, builder of Leimert Bridge was an executive[7]), and initially referred to as Fourth Avenue Terrace (east of Park Blvd) and Fourth Avenue Terrace Extension (west of Park Blvd).[8] In the early subdivision maps, which doubled as marketing materials, the company attempted to entice would-be-owners with the prospects of good access to the city ("residence sites so close to the heart of Oakland that they should be classed as City, NOT suburban--It is but fifteen minutes from the center of Oakland by car line").[9] Not only could buyers get to the city via Park Blvd lines, but the early maps shows a second wider right-of-way for Key System streetcar route extension running between Wellington St and Hampel St. While this must have been part of the attraction for early buyers, this extension was never realized.

The district was largely built out by the mid 1930s. Seven out of 10 units in existence today were built before 1939.[10] By the mid-1930s, in a report on creditworthiness of the neighborhood written for the Federal Government's Home Owners' Loan Corporation program which would later earn notoriety for fostering the practice known as red-lining or denying home loans to African American neighborhoods, local officials described the neighborhood approvingly as a "[h]omogeneous district of semi-modern and modern homes and cottages. Convenient to local transportation, excellent schools, and shopping district, in demand by better class people of moderate income." Source: Wiki
