The Berkeley Hills are part of the Pacific Coast range, and the western slope is lined with residential neighborhoods of mainly single family homes. Large hillside homes and a diverse culture of students, families, and long-time Berkeley residents, make the Berkeley Hills one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the east bay.

Architectural styles include Craftsman, Tudor, Mediterranean, and contemporary styles, as well as simple mid-sized bungalows from the 1930’s and 40’s, many with stunning views of the Bay and San Francisco. Residents are close to the Lawrence Hall of Science, Botanical Gardens and numerous hiking trails and parks including Tilden Park, an expansive East Bay Regional Park with miles of open meadows, dense woodlands, swimming at Lake Anza, an antique carousel and a miniature steam train. The retail districts of north Berkeley and Solano Avenue are close by and nearby BART and Highway 80 provide a convenient commute to other bay area cities.
