Life and Real Estate in the Bay Area
The Bay Area is a great place to live. The weather is mild, typically ranging between 50 and 75 degrees. The rainy season is generally limited to a few months in the winter. Every year there are some very hot periods, but generally after 2 or 3 days, the fog coming through the Golden Gate cools the temperatures. There are micro-climates. Where I live in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland it is between 2 to 5 degrees warmer than at my office in North Berkeley.

The Bay Area has a diverse population. People from all over the globe bring recipes from their native country providing wonderful food options.. In any one neighborhood in the East Bay you can find an abundance of places to eat from different cultures, including but not limited to, Vietnamese, Burmese, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Indian, Korean, Cambodian, Persian, El Salvadorian, Mexican, Ethiopian and finally "California Cusine" a la Chez Panisse.

There is an abundance of parks in the Bay Area, presenting opportunities to enjoy the glorious weather, beautiful views and tranquil settings.

"As East Coast transplants and first time home buyers, entering the Bay Area housing market seemed an incredibly daunting task. We were lucky enough to be referred to Kathie through a co-worker. Her extensive knowledge of the East Bay....made our home purchase a smooth successful experience."
