West Berkeley

For those looking for affordable housing in a vibrant, working class neighborhood, we think West Berkeley is an excellent value, This placid, diverse, and quirky neighborhood is interspersed with up-and-coming shopping districts and ethnic restaurants.

West Berkeley neighborhoods are dotted with modest single-family homes and even a few Victorian farmhouses, which were the area's original dwellings. Whether you want to tackle a fixer-upper, or purchase a smaller home that's already been expertly remodeled, West Berkeley is a great place to start.

Natural parklands are interspersed within the neighborhood, with four grassy parks, playgrounds, and countless places for bike riding, jogging, walking and strolling. Best of all, this neighborhood is walking distance to the shores of the Berkeley Marina, where locals enjoy windsurfing, kayaking, fishing and simply enjoying the beautiful scenery along the water's edge. And Aquatic Park is popular with dogs and people alike for their scenic vistas, picnic tables and Frisbee golf course.
