The Great Outdoors & The Ohlone Greenway
Just half a block away, residents can jump onto a pedestrian/bike path that connects to the Ohlone Greenway, a scenic pedestrian and commuter path stretching through the heart of Berkeley and into Albany. This lush green artery connects you directly to the North Berkeley BART station, Strawberry Creek Park, and your backyard extension, the expansive Cedar Rose Park featuring dedicated pickleball and tennis courts, sprawling lawns, and one of the area's most popular playgrounds.
The Berkeley Marina and several surrounding bayside parks are a mere twelve minute bike ride away.

Iconic Eateries & Gourmet Living
Food enthusiasts will appreciate being within a short distance of both Berkeley Bowl West and the world-renowned Monterey Market and the Westbrae food corridor. Start your mornings with a five minute walk to Strawberry Creek Park for a pastry and coffee at the Hidden Cafe. For a casual afternoon or evening, the Westbrae Biergarten offers a family-friendly atmosphere with local brews and rotating food trucks.

Boutique Shopping & Local Gems
The neighborhood is anchored by unique local institutions. Wander through the Berkeley Horticultural Nursery for garden inspiration or head a couple south to the University Avenue corridor for a diverse array of international shops and services. The vibrant San Pablo corridor is just five blocks west.  Whether you are heading to the gourmet "Epicurean Frontier" of Shattuck Avenue or the chic boutiques on 4th Street, everything is within a 5-minute drive or a quick bike ride down quiet side streets or greenways.
