A colorful, characterful neighborhood in the north of Berkeley

Vibrant Walkable Eclectic Convenient Restaurants

Westbrae sits on Berkeley’s north side just two miles from the University of California Berkeley campus. Single-family homes in a variety of styles and upscale modern apartments make up the bulk of the rental market here, all set within a relatively dense grid punctuated by palm trees and colorful homes. This is a convenient locale for students and faculty of the university, or for any renter looking for a classically Californian rental in a buzzing college town.

There’s a variety of restaurants and shops along San Pablo Avenue and Gilman Street, and many residents head south towards Downtown Berkeley for grocery stores and even more retail options. The Berkeley Marina and Cesar E. Chavez Park are just a few miles west, making it easy to get outside and enjoy the ideal climate of the area.
