 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. |
