Berkeley Hills
Berkeley Hills is to the east and generally has the highest priced real estate. There is a reason for this though. The views from up here are simply breathtaking and there is generally less traffic and noise pollution, along with more greenery. Most streets are lush and tree-lined. You will need a car to get around though, and some of the roads can be rather steep and narrow. Oh, and driving a manual (stick) car can be a little more difficult…
Bounded by Hayward Fault to the west and Wildcat Fault to the east, Berkeley Hills features several high peaks including Vollmer Peak, Grizzly Peak, Round Top and William Rust Summit. The highest peak, Vollmer Peak, was named after the city’s first Chief of Police, August Vollmer.
The image below gives you a sense of some of the views that can be had from homes in Berkeley Hills. Truly breathtaking!
