Melrose Neighborhood Overview

Melrose is a neighborhood in Oakland, California, primarily within the 90033 ZIP code. The area presents a significant contrast between current market data and historical census benchmarks. While the Census Median Household Income is $50,616, the current Median Household Income is reported at $92,445, indicating substantial recent economic shifts. The housing market is overwhelmingly oriented toward renters, with a Renter-Occupied Rate of 80.3% and a correspondingly low Homeownership Rate of 19.7%.

The market is active, with 174 total home loan originations in the most recent HMDA data. The vast majority of these were Conventional loans (148), with a smaller number of FHA loans (23) and very few VA loans (3). This financing mix suggests a market where buyers are leveraging conventional financing. The Census Median Home Value stands at $632,200 for homes that average around 950 square feet in size. For renters, the Median Gross Rent is $1,311 per month, which is a key factor in the neighborhood's affordability profile for its largely renting population.
