5 things to know before moving to Berkeley, CA

  1. Berkeley is a college town, but not every neighborhood feels like one. Downtown and Southside have a higher saturation of students, while North Berkeley feels more residential. 

  2. Amazing food and easy access to parks and trails are the major reasons why people stay in the city.

  3. The median sold price for a three-bedroom single-family home is 1.6 million

  4. On the negative side: Berkeley housing is expensive, parking can be frustrating, and locals frequently mention car break-ins and bike thefts

  5. The one place that you have to visit independently of where you live right now is Berkeley Bowl West, located specifically at 920 Heinz Ave, Berkeley. This supermarket has more than twenty types of mushrooms and a huge variety of fruit.
