Not always. Ellington Field in southeast Houston has a 600 AGL traffic
pattern for small aircraft.

At HWD for 10R/28L the pattern is 650 MSL (598 AGL) while for 10L/28R
it is 850 MSL. If 28 is in use, then OAK is using 29 for the jetliners and
they will be at 1,300 MSL 1 mile from 10R/28L at HWD. Traffic to 27L&R at
OAK will be at 1,300 MSL 2.5 miles from HWD's 10L/28R.
