About the Berkeley Hills

Perched high above the rest of the city, with panoramic views of the Bay, winding tree-lined streets and the city’s most distinguished architecture, the hills are home to some of the area’s most sought-after housing.

The neighborhoods of the Berkeley Hills are all residential; livelier-paced city-life can be found at nearby Solano Ave., in North Berkeley or in the nearby Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood. The hills have a quiet and majestic solitude to them: the streets are narrow and lined with magnificent trees; often the only sounds you hear are those of the wind rustling, sometimes intermixed with the distant murmur of the city. The fog, an ever-present feature of living in the hills, and dramatic sunsets, never in short supply, add to the grand beauty of the neighborhoods.
