| Oakland: From Crocker Highlands' stately traditional homes to Montclair's sophisticated contemporaries, from Glenview's Craftsman bungalows to Rockridge's family neighborhoods, Oakland has homes for everyone. What is there to do? Yoshi's for jazz in Jack London Square, classic Friday night movies at the stunning art deco Paramount Theater, ice cream at Fenton's on Piedmont Avenue, dog walks on the off-leash trails of Redwood Regional Park. You can fall in love with Oakland and all its charms and treasures. Piedmont: Called "the City of Millionaires" in the Roaring 20s because it contained more millionaires per square mile than any city in the U.S., Piedmont is still the upscale, desirable place to live in the near East Bay. With its architecturally classic homes, and the lovely tree-lined streets, Piedmont has the feel of a Midwestern town with the sophistication of the big city. Its stellar school system only adds to its allure. Berkeley: Home of the University of California, Berkeley also has wonderful neighborhoods and attractions. From the winding streets of Thousand Oaks to the large, stately homes of the Claremont, from the spectacular views in the Berkeley hills to the charm of the Elmwood, Berkeley has it all. Do you want to ride a steam train? Try Tilden Park. Do you want to eat the freshest, most creatively prepared food anywhere? Reserve a table at Chez Panisse, birthplace of California cuisine. Try 4th Street for hip shopping, then splurge with a spa package from the Claremont Hotel. Berkeley's charms will have you hooked. The near eastern side of the San Francisco Bay is incredibly lively and diverse, with temperate weather and easy access to all parts of the Bay Area. What makes it so special? |
