About this House

The closet is so enormous you could make it a guest room! In all seriousness, this is one of the largest closets we have ever offered in a studio rental.

The main living space is large and comfortable. Great morning light keeps the place bright. The kitchen has room to fit a table and comes with a full size range and lots of cabinet space. All-tile, full bath.

A block to UCB, this building is nicely situated in a desirable Northside neighborhood. Step outside and you're a block away from UCB, 4 blocks from the Gourmet Ghetto shops and eats, and 6 blocks from Downtown Berkeley BART. It's a pleasant walking neighborhood with eye-catching architecture, a rolling landscape, and well-kept gardens.

The building features: coin laundry, storage lockers, attentive resident managers, common courtyard, and security camera system. Garage parking available at an additional charge.

"I have been living at the cross of Virginia and Spruce for nearly 5 years and loved it. It's quiet, close to the university. 10 min walk from Downtown Berkeley BART, 3 movies theaters, Groceries (Safeway, Walgreens) and a lot of restaurants. Berkeley gourmet ghetto is 4 blocks away. In addition to that, you're very close to Berkeley Hills and Tilden park. Top neighborhood."
