Neighborhood
Living here, you are definitely in the mix and close to it all, including the University of California, Berkeley. Rockridge is known for it's fine dining and eclectic restaurants scene, boutiques, and pubs. College Avenue in the evening is a wonderful place to be greeted with the glow of thriving restaurants, the chatter of friends gathering and the gentle hum of BART.
Food-and-drink purveyors in Rockridge provide the best from around the world and local farms. Rockridge Market Hall, which takes its cue from the French Marché, offers numerous individual food and flower shops open to the sidewalk. Dozens of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques line bustling College Avenue, Rockridge's main drag. Everyone loves Wood Tavern, Zachary's Pizza, A16, Belloti Ristorante E Bottega, A Cote, Starter Bakery, Kitchen Story, Hudson Bay Cafe, Ain't Normal Cafe, Cactus Taqueria, Rockridge Improvement Club, Ben N' Nick's, George & Walt's, McNally's, Cole Hardware, Nathan & Co., and so much more!
Established streets are lined with appealing bungalows and pre-war homes with wood built-ins, vintage details and expansive gardens. Many of the wonderfully restored homes that make up Rockridge real estate date from the first decade of the 20th century to the 50s, with some of the earliest reaching back to 1909. The Arts and Crafts-style home, however, is the architectural poster child for this area. Clinker brick chimneys, half-timbered or cedar shingled facades, beamed ceilings, and dark oak built-ins are characteristic of many of the fine old residences in this neighborhood.
An active district association hosts holiday and community events and many other opportunities that encourage a strong and cohesive neighborhood. Local art galleries and a handful of commendable public and alternative schools ensure there is something for everyone in this neighborhood. This is the perfect spot for balancing an urban lifestyle with the enjoyment of a backyard.
