Berkeley

World-Class Dining, Diverse Architecture & Intellectual Energy

Berkeley is one of the most dynamic and storied cities in the Bay Area — a place where world-class cuisine, progressive culture, and remarkable architectural diversity come together.

About Berkeley

From the Elmwood and Claremont districts (leafy streets, period homes, boutique shopping) to the Berkeley Hills (sweeping Bay views, bold architecture), Berkeley rewards buyers who take the time to understand its neighborhoods. The Elmwood, Thousand Oaks, and North Berkeley neighborhoods are perennial favorites. The hills above offer sweeping Bay views and some of the most architecturally ambitious homes in the East Bay. Chez Panisse launched the farm-to-table movement here, and the Gourmet Ghetto and Elmwood remain Bay Area dining destinations. UC Berkeley's presence ensures a constant cultural and intellectual vitality that keeps Berkeley unlike anywhere else.
