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. |
