Berkeley California

Internationally known for its cultural diversity, environmental sensitivity, and dynamic academic life, the leafy university town of Berkeley is a model California city that the friendly residents are proud to call home. Here, urban culture and the arts, innovative shops and gourmet restaurants beautifully exist side-by-side with charming homes, tree-lined neighborhoods, winding streets, pretty parks, fragrant gardens and attractive walking paths.

Berkeley's many distinct neighborhoods offer something for everyone, as does its range of architectural styles. Homebuyers can choose from stunning view homes high in the hills, charming Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, stately older homes, wooded hillside retreats, and magnificent period revival homes. Many Berkeley homes are notable for their singular architectural styles, some of which were designed by famed architects Bernard Maybeck, John Hudson Thomas and Julia Morgan.

In addition to being in close proximity to the prestigious University of California, Berkeley residents also enjoy convenient freeway access to San Francisco, Oakland, and the Silicon Valley. And just minutes away, Tilden Regional Park is comprised of 2,065 acres of open meadows and forests with spectacular views of the Bay Area. Within its boundaries are miles of splendid hiking and biking trails, a botanic garden, picnic areas, 18-hole golf course, and a lake for swimming. Families especially enjoy the historic carousel, petting zoo, steam train and pony rides, and environmental education center.

Many of our agents call Berkeley home and we hope you will as well.
