Berkeley
California is one of the most unique and exciting cities in the
world. Because of its outstanding and diverse cultural history,
unique geography, and steadily growing economy, Berkeley continues
to attract intellectuals, artists, entrepreneurs, and world travelers,
as it has for decades. Berkeley natives have lived among the many
charms of this city by the bay since long before the University
of California Free Speech Movement gave Berkeley its international
notoriety in the 1960's.
Today, few places on earth celebrate their rich, culturally diverse
population with Berkeley's wide variety of year-round cultural
activities. Another aspect of Berkeley's diversity and appeal
is its close physical proximity to the general San Francisco bay
area and to the greater Northern California region. Berkeley is
at the geographic center of the east bay area and is just a short,
beautiful drive over either of our two world class bridges connecting
us to San Francisco and Marin counties.
Berkeley has long been at the forefront of public education and
modern education reform. The Berkeley Unified School District
benefits enormously by its association and its proximity to the
University of California at Berkeley. The university and the public
school system offer unparalleled access to world class education,
general employment opportunities, and athletic facilities and
events. Berkeley is one of the few cities in the world which offers
a true variety of micro climates, ranging from our mild bay climate
to the beautiful sunny hills with their breathtaking views of
the entire San Francisco bay area. In addition to fabulous Berkeley
hotels and restaurants, the city is also home to numerous lush,
beautifully preserved park areas featuring a broad scope of recreational
facilities, family activities, and serene, undisturbed settings.
Berkeley's favorable year-round climate, its unique hills overlooking
the beautiful bay, and its central location in the northern California
region make Berkeley one of the most sought after housing markets
in the country.
