Albany California

Albany Hill

Boasting some of the most dramatic views in the entire area, many of the homes in Albany Hill are at the height of desirability. To the west, homeowners enjoy straight-on views of the majestic Golden Gate Bridge and sparkling San Francisco Bay. Those on the west side gaze out over the picturesque Berkeley Hills. It's hard to believe this area was once simply a giant dirt mound from a 1920s dynamite factory.

Located on the western edge of Albany, homeowners here are in close proximity to all this city has to offer including it's many retail shops, restaurants, BART, and of course its stellar school system.

Residents enjoy going down the hill to the popular El Cerrito farmer's market for locally grown fruit and vegetables, arts and crafts, and live music. The market is held twice a week at the Plaza, which recently underwent a complete renovation and now includes an Albertson's, Barnes and Noble, and Starbucks Coffee.
