In this remarkable setting between the East Bay hills and the Bay, lies a broad geographical area, encompassing the cities of Berkeley, Oakland and surrounding communities. In this region are neighborhoods filled with a colorful assortment of different architectural styles, surrounded by lush foliage, native live oaks, buckeye and redwood trees, spectacular vistas and all this sitting on the edge of thousands of acres of open space. Beyond all this natural beauty is a diverse, vibrant, sophisticated and culturally rich population. “I feel so fortunate to live here,” says Norah, who loves to share her enthusiasm for Berkeley and its environs with her clients.
In the mid 1980’s, I decided that it was time for me to move to a city that was less transient than San Francisco, though no less sophisticated. So in 1984, I moved from San Francisco to Berkeley, a city with a small town feel. With its rich assortment of architectural styles, there were many wonderful Berkeley homes for sale, which made my transition even easier. I was very attracted to the unique mix of residential and urban neighborhoods and the cultural vitality of Berkeley, Oakland and the adjacent east bay neighborhoods. There was at that time much Berkeley real estate available. With an extremely comfortable climate (warmer than San Francisco, yet cooler than the neighborhoods east of the Tunnel), the ease of walking to amenities, the magnificent views and vast parklands, this city felt like it was designed for me.
