Excluding streets and freeways, about 46 percent of San Leandro's neighborhoods include about 2,600 acres of single family detached homes, 260 acres of townhomes and duplexes, 300 acres of apartments and condominiums, and 70 acres of mobile homes. These areas contain about 31,000 housing units, for an average residential density of 9.5 units per acre. This density creates a more urban character than the newer communities of the East Bay (like Dublin and Fremont) but a more suburban character than Berkeley, Oakland and other cities closer to San Francisco. In fact, many of San Leandro's neighborhoods have a comfortable "small town" quality that is created in part by mixed density housing. The mean single family lot size in the city is 6,250 square feet. Rectangular lots measuring about 60' x 100' comprise most of the city's post-war neighborhoods (such as Washington Manor) but are also typical in older areas such as Estudillo Estates and Farrelly Pond. Slightly larger lots prevail in the Bay -O -Vista, Broadmoor, and Mulford Gardens areas, while smaller lots are more common in the newer subdivisions such as Heron Bay and Cherrywood. Although many San Leandro neighborhoods are perceived as being homogeneous, the housing stock is actually quite diverse. The city's neighborhoods include view -oriented hillside homes, craftsman bungalows and Mediterranean cottages, apartment buildings and garden apartment complexes, mid -rise condominiums, ranch -style tract homes, century -old Victorians, mobile home parks, California contemporaries, and even semi -rural ranchettes. Many single family neighborhoods include pockets of higher -density housing, along with other uses such as parks, schools and churches. Densities as high as 90 units per acre can be found on some blocks around Downtown San Leandro, although most multi -family housing is in the range of 25 to 30 units per acre. The major concentrations of higher density housing are located around Downtown, along East 14th Street and Washington Avenue, in the Springlake Drive area, along Orchard Avenue, at the west end of Marina Boulevard, around San Leandro Hospital, and around the Greenhouse Marketplace Shopping Center.
