Berkeley Hills

Perched above the city, the Berkeley Hills offer some of the East Bay’s most spectacular homes and views. Winding streets climb through lush, wooded hillsides where Craftsman, Mediterranean, Mid-Century Modern, and architect-designed residences overlook the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, and city skyline. My best friend growing up lived in the Berkeley Hills off of Spruce Street, and I spent countless nights sleeping over at her home after galavanting around the neighborhood, discovering secret walking paths and hidden parks. Homes in the neighborhood range from carefully preserved historic properties to striking contemporary residences designed around the views.

Despite the peaceful setting, Downtown Berkeley, North Berkeley, and the UC Berkeley campus are only minutes away. Nearby parks, walking paths, and access to the open spaces of the Berkeley Hills give the neighborhood a retreat-like quality rarely found so close to the urban core. For buyers seeking privacy, architecture, natural beauty, and unforgettable vistas, the Berkeley Hills remain one of Berkeley’s premier residential destinations.
