"Culture, proximity and nature all baked in"
It doesn’t get more eclectic than the established neighborhood of North Berkeley. While its attractive collection of homes speaks to its history, the bohemian heart of the city beats along a commercial corridor that is home to a landmark restaurant, the oldest art cooperative west of the Mississippi and an array of independent businesses. Residents of the Alameda County neighborhood enjoy a convenient location less than 15 miles from San Francisco, next door to the greenery of Berkeley Hills and minutes from the open spaces of Contra Costa County. “It’s a great place with culture, proximity and nature all baked in,” says Tracy Sichterman of Berkeley Hills Realty. “It’s a great marriage of all those personality types.”
Architectural diversity is a neighborhood highlight
The neighborhood’s housing, highlighted by homes built in the early 1900s, is wide-ranging and impressive. “North Berkeley is where you are typically going to find small sampling of the architectural diversity. “You’ll find everything from Spanish Mediterranean to Tudors to Victorians and midcentury homes in between. There’s a lot of individuality. Berkeley doesn’t tear down homes to build new ones, so there’s a lot of integrity in its housing stock.”
Guest access
You’ll have full access to the entire house and backyard.
