Nestled in the middle of Oakland, the Piedmont neighborhood became its own city in 1907, and by the 1920s, it was known as “the city of millionaires” due to its concentration of wealthy residents. Many mansions from that time still stand, and current-day zoning is largely restricted to single-family homes. In the last year, the median sales price for those abodes was $2.512M, Compass reports.
