Northbrae is on Hopkins Street (between Gilman and The Alameda). Westbrae is just west on Gilman Street (roughly between Santa Fe and Hopkins). They're so close to one another, I included them together.
These are two of the most affordable of Berkeley's pleasant neighborhoods. As an extra bonus, they're both within walking distance of North Berkeley BART and the North Berkeley Library (designed by Julia Morgan). There's even a running track and pool, and St. Mary's College High School. Northbrae This small neighborhood shopping district has some of the best shopping in town. The Monterey Market can't be beat for fresh produce, there's a nearby fish and meat market, and Espresso Roma for the sheer pleasure of hanging out on a sunny day. I stop here several days a week after working out at the downtown YMCA. First stop - Monterey Market for fresh fruit and vegetables, and some freshly baked breads. Then across the street for a cappuchino to go (gigante cappuchino, para llevar). You get a dime off if you bring your own cup. Berkeley Horticultural Nursery (Berkeley Hort) on Mc Gee is one of the best nurseries around, with a highly knowledgeable staff. If you're a gardener, be sure to also visit Magic Gardens in West Berkeley. Westbrae Westbrae is on Gilman, just down the street. Lalime's is a lovely restaurant frequently changing menu. Mama Lan's Vietnamese restaurant is only a block away. Brother's Bagels and Toot Sweets are west of the BART tracks, and on the corner is a pleasant little park where you can drink coffee and read the paper. Across the street is New Leaf Garden Gallery, which sells gardens fountains and sculptures. |

| We Value Your Business And Appreciate Your Referrals | Almost all our clients have been referred to us by their friends, family, local neighborhood Realtor, or found us on the Internet. One of the nice benefits of a referral based business is that we get to work with people who are motivated, financially qualified, highly educated, decisive, pleasant, and have interesting backgrounds (one client won a Gold medal at the Olympics). What's particularly rewarding is how many of our buyers and sellers have become friends.
If you're planning to buy or sell a home, we'd appreciate the opportunity to show you how you'll benefit from our services. And, if you know a friend, neighbor, or family member who is buying, selling, or relocating anywhere in the United States, we'll be happy to check our extensive database of highly qualified Realtors and refer you to a great local Realtor. |
