Berkeley Hills Real Estate Offers Quiet Streets & Great Views
Private and Serene
High up in the foothills of Berkeley you will find a quiet residential community with breathtaking views and walking trails. The Berkeley Hills is home to many UC Berkeley professors and long-time residents. The architecture is varied, from 1920’s traditionals to 1950’s ranch style homes. A short drive down the hill and you are at the University of California at Berkeley with all the cultural, sports and academic activities you’d expect.
Natural Beauty, Parks and Recreation
Tilden Regional Park is a 2,077-acre wilderness with a variety of attractions for the sports enthusiast or naturalist, or anyone in need of some recreation. Popular activities include swimming, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, sunbathing, studying, exploring, golf, picnicking, fishing, pony rides, train rides and bike rides. It also features a lake, golf course, petting zoo, a mini steam train, a carousel and endless trails to explore.
Don’t miss the Regional Parks Botanical Garden, home to the world’s most complete collection of California native plants. This 10-acre masterpiece is divided into sections that represent each region in California, from Southern California deserts to the Pacific Rain Forest. The Visitor Center offers lectures and slide shows on Saturdays from November through February and hosts a plant sale in the spring.
Lake Anza Park provides a charming, secluded nature getaway, mostly used by locals in the warmer months. There are two parts of the lake, one smaller area used for swimming, equipped with a lifeguard on duty in the summer, and a larger part that is open for fishing year-round. This lake features a sandy beach, grassy knolls, a refreshment stand, a nearby parking lot and picnic tables.
The Greek Theater is an outdoor concert venue with lawn seating as well as a stone amphitheater. It has great acoustics and an intimate feel as you sit beneath the stars and enjoy a warm summer evening of live performances.
