The New Californian, the name fits. Active, fun and trendy living in an amazing location

Berkeley is changing and in many ways for the better. As more people from San Francisco move into the area, Berkeley is becoming home to more professionals and not just students and those connected to the University. This apartment embodies that change. It is located on a major street, blocks from the subway, next to the bus line, literally steps from great restaurants, bars, cafes & parks, hiking and under 2miles from the Berkeley Marina. The University is 5 blocks away. At the bottom of the building you will find a Trader Joes. Amazing. With a rooftop deck, with 360 degree views of San Francisco Bay, the Berkeley Hills and the lush landscape of Mt. Tam, the building's internal features are great. Underground parking, secured and safe, a courtyard, large apartments, new appliances, every unit has a washer dryer in unit, dishwasher, large bath room, 2 closets. Go out your apartment door to clean hallways, attentive staff and management is located a few blocks away. The building has a mix of professionals, grad students, students, small families. I have lived in SF, Berkeley, Oakland, NYC and LA. This apartment has location and is ideal for those wanting or needing to be close to work in SF/Oakland, but want a balance between the urban and the active, without the suburban. I enjoy living here and you should get in while you can. I'm off to go kayaking in the Bay, then host some friends on the roof to watch the sunset over the Golden Gate.
