Emeryville is a small community right in the heart of the Bay Area, part of greater Oakland’s north side and sitting right at the foot of the Bay Bridge into San Francisco. The art scene thrives here, with hundreds of painters, musicians, and filmmakers working around town. Pixar has its headquarters in the middle of the city and serves as the Emeryville’s largest employer, so there’s a good chance of rubbing elbows with some extremely creative neighbors once you move to a rental in Emeryville.
The waterfront Bay Street Emeryville offers upscale shopping in a uniquely “main street” environment, while the Public Market offers a boutique dining experience with nearly a dozen specialty cafes under one roof.
