About Hills Desk

Hills Desk is a local market desk for the Oakland Hills and ZIP 94611. We publish dated micro-market reports and neighborhood guides so buyers and sellers can see sourced numbers in one place.

What we publish

Monthly ZIP snapshots, neighborhood orientation pages (Montclair, Upper Rockridge, and more as we expand), and educational guides on listing metrics and the first-time buyer process. Publisher byline: Hills Desk.

Geographic focus

Oakland Hills pockets in and around ZIP 94611. A ZIP is not a neighborhood — we keep that distinction clear on every page.

Sourced numbers

Public sources first. American Community Survey estimates are published with a Census Reporter citation and as-of window. Sale medians, days on market, and related transaction stats appear only when we can cite them clearly. We do not invent medians or days on market to look current.

Fair housing

We describe housing stock, access, wildfire-map checks, and market facts. We do not write about who should live where, or use school “ratings” as a proxy for neighborhood quality.
