Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1959 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer,' the property shows significant age-related wear with no evidence of recent renovations. The kitchen and bathrooms are severely dated with original-style cabinetry and fixtures, while interior photos show worn flooring and missing electrical covers, indicating a need for a full rehabilitation.
The duplex configuration with both units delivered vacant offers maximum flexibility for owner-occupants to house-hack or for investors to capture market-rate rents immediately after renovation.
Situated near BART and major freeways, the property provides excellent accessibility for Bay Area commuters, a key driver for consistent rental demand.
As a fixer-upper with a significant recent price reduction, this property presents a prime opportunity to build substantial sweat equity through strategic improvements.
Explicitly listed as a fixer, the property requires a contractor's vision and substantial upfront capital to address deferred maintenance and modernize the living spaces.
The assigned public schools carry low ratings (ranging from 1 to 3), which may limit the property's appeal to families and impact future resale velocity.
Back on Market! For homeowners and investors alike, this versatile duplex at 6230 Hayes Street presents an exceptional opportunity in Oakland. Featuring two units — one 2-bedroom, 1-bath and one 1-bedroom, 1-bath — this fixer is ready for your vision.

Ideal for buyers looking to build equity, generate income, or customize to their taste. Conveniently located near BART, major freeways, shopping, and everyday amenities. Fixer with tremendous upside potential in an established neighborhood. Bring your contractor and imagination to unlock the possibilities!
