Elmwood

Shopping hub with a small town feel

The quiet, tree-lined streets of Berkeley’s Elmwood district evoke a stately turn-of-the-century sensibility. The homes are a mix of classic brown shingles, period revivals, Craftsman bungalows, and cottages complete with English gardens. Even the shops along the Elmwood stretch of College Avenue suggest a small town of decades past.

Here you will find unique, locally owned shops, cafes, restaurants, a bookstore, bakery, and a refurbished movie theater. The Elmwood is a wonderful walking neighborhood that puts everything you need within easy reach. Excellent access to freeways and public transportation make it easy to get almost anywhere in the Bay Area.
