Berkeley, one of the most liberal enclaves in the country, is a beautiful university town nestled on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay. A small-town feel, Mediterranean climate, and gorgeous views of the bay accompany progressive politics and a fascinating history of civil disobedience, making Berkeley a unique place to call home. The city of Berkeley began with the establishment of the first university in the university system of California, UC Berkeley, which today draws visitors from all over the world.
Berkeley has many distinguished buildings designed by local architects. Bernard Maybeck was an eminent architect in the 20th century Arts and Crafts movement, the influences of which can be seen in the architecture of apartments and homes all over Berkeley. He designed a number of houses and landscapes, such as the Boke House, Chick House, the Rose Walk, and his 1910 First Church of Christ, Scientist, designated a National Historic Landmark! Maybeck also mentored another important Berkeley architect, Julia Morgan, designer of Berkeley’s Julia Morgan Center for the Arts and other prominent buildings in Berkeley and the surrounding areas.
Berkeley has several different neighborhoods and housing options clustered around different sides of the university. West of the campus is downtown Berkeley, south of the campus is a cluster of student housing and the famous Telegraph Avenue, and north of the campus are some quieter housing options and the Graduate Theological Union. There are some large apartment buildings available, although most of the neighborhoods in Berkeley are dominated by detached single family homes, often with separate in-law units behind the main house. What makes Berkeley so special, though, is that its homes and apartments are often made up of structurally unique spaces with gorgeous views of the local neighborhood, nature, or the beautiful San Francisco Bay. Numerous public stairways and paths also litter the hills of Berkeley. You can definitely find your own special space in this special town!
