"Oakland's Millionaires' Hill"
Piedmont Pines is the section of Piedmont, California that climbs up the Oakland hills to the east of the Warren Freeway. It is a highly affluent family neighborhood with million dollar homes where well-heeled professionals reside. People touted Piedmont as the “City of Millionaires,” and to this day it remains a Mecca for the well-off, having former Bay Area football stars like Bubba Paris and Bill Romanowski as residents.
