West Berkeley

Established neighborhood with a small town feel

This old, established Berkeley neighborhood has a small town feel: 1920s bungalows, turn-of-the-century homes, and a few Victorian farmhouses that date back to Berkeley’s beginnings intermingle here. At the core of this tree-lined neighborhood is the 13-acre San Pablo Park, serving the residents with tennis and basketball courts, a recreation center, large playing fields, and picnic area with barbecues and playground.

The quality of life is further enhanced by paths for biking and jogging, numerous small parks and playgrounds, and proximity to Aquatic Park, a great place for dog walking, fishing, kayaking, and windsurfing.

The vibrant shopping area along San Pablo Ave., with its array of restaurants, coffee houses, and stores, is an easy walk. Opportunities for finding a home here abound, and this area provides good value for homeownership in Berkeley.
