5600 Picardy Drive North, Oakland, California, Alameda County, 94605

The homes on Picardy Drive were built in the 1920’s by a Hollywood developer R. C. Hillen. Hillen bought the 10 acres, and along with a prominent architect Walter Dixon, created a medieval French village of seventy-one English Tudor and French Normandy homes. Their inspired decision to wire the houses to allow lights to be strung between them turned Picardy Drive into what Oaklanders refer to as Christmas Tree Lane. The tree in the center of the island is over 100 years old and this neighborhood is treasured by generations of East Bay residents.
