Neighborhood

Exuding the eccentric charm Berkeley is known for, Elmwood is one of Berkeley’s best neighborhoods to live in. Located with walking distance of the University of California, Berkeley mixes the energy of a college town with a strong sense of community of a small town. Elmwood is best known for being home to the historic Elmwood Shopping District, a two-block hub featuring over 80 independently owned restaurants and shops. A plethora of international eateries reflect the diversity of the city while boutiques like Tail of the Yak Trading Company, a fanciful shop that sells eclectic gifts, illustrate the one-of-a-nature of the district. The historic Rialto Cinemas Elmwood hosts film festivals year-round while other venues also host community events. Conveniently, the iconic Telegraph Avenue (the center of Berkeley’s counter-culture movement) also runs through the neighborhood, providing even more amenities.

DO NOT STAY HERE PLEASE

DON'T MOVE IN HERE!!! This apartments are absolutely HORRIBLE! I cannot even begin to describe how much I could not STAND to live here. The landlord is TERRIBLE. He never takes care of anything, even BASIC maintenance needs. I spent months trying to get him to just get the stove and sink to even work and to give me blinds that actually go down!! The apartments themselves are disgusting and terrible. The walls are paper thin and the amenities are nonexistent. The shower and sink and the bathroom hardly count as one, they barely even work, and there's literally nothing else to consider as appliances or amenities. The fridge in the kitchen looks like it is from 1959! On top of all of this, it is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a Waldorf Pre-school. Get ready to enjoy the sounds of screaming children ALL DAY LONG. Every single day, even on the freaking weekends! It's a nightmare! Don't stay here, I hated living here SO MUCH and could not wait to get out!!!!! Moving out and leaving to stay with parents because of COVID for the rest of my lease was a blessing in disguise because of how much I hated living here!! Don't do it! Find somewhere, ANYWHERE ELSE.
