about this

Explore the Neighborhood

Residents of Albany enjoy convenient access to the Bay Bridge with a fraction of the population density found in San Francisco. Located just a few miles northwest of Berkeley, the real estate in Albany ranges from highrise, oceanview condos up to single family homes less than a mile from the Albany State Marine Reserve.

Albany's trifecta of entertainment, community, and access makes it one of the absolute best neighborhoods in the entire Bay Area. First, there is Solano Avenue, an amazingly well-kept Bay Area street with various amenities. Additionally, Albany provides easy access to the rest of the Bay Area. Bordering Berkeley, you've got quick access to CAL, and a quick commute to SF via BART and the Transbay Bus. Best of all, you're along the I-80 corridor, making this neighborhood more accessible to Lake Tahoe without any of the Bay Bridge Traffic and just a quick jaunt to Marin County over the Richmond Bridge. Interstate 80 and 580 run down the western border of Albany, which makes for an easy commute to and from Oakland, San Francisco, and several other Bay Area communities.

Albany is in the perfect location for undergraduate and graduate students. UC Berkeley is less than three miles away and can be easily accessed with a short ride on Route 52. Business school students and professors can walk or ride to the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the full slate of amenities offered at Albany Hill Park, like a brisk hike through the eucalyptus tree-lined trail with the occasional views of the San Francisco Bay. Or, residents can jump on the Bay Trail and enjoy incredible SF views while walking or biking.

If you're looking for entertainment and culture, Albany residents can find it all close to home.
