About this House

Looking for someone who appreciates how lovely my house is. I've lived here for over 50 years. You will be respectful and enjoy both the inside (the gorgeous wood floors and bookshelves, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms) as well as the outside gardens. Friendly peaceful neighborhood, walking distance to UC Berkeley, downtown Berkeley, BART, buses and the original Berkeley Bowl (a local favorite for fresh produce and everything else). There is a queen size bed in each of the bedrooms.

House is only available for monthly rentals. The month of October and then for January 2026-June 2026.

    "Lots of students in the area because of the proximity to UC Berkeley. Its also a very political area, marches and cops and helicopters are not uncommon in response to the political climate. "

    "I lived in this neighborhood for 3 years. Since it's just south of the UC Berkeley campus, there is a lot of foot traffic and noise when school is in session. Mostly students live in this neighborhood but there are a ton of homeless people lying on the sidewalks and they can get pretty aggressive. Plenty of cheap restaurants catering to students as well."

    "Berkeley has high property taxes with the outcome of good public services and excellent schools. This part of south Berkeley is bicycle friendly with great grocery stores (perhaps the best options in the State!) plus neighbors who walk and know each other. A very enjoyable & diverse neighborhood."

    "A perfect 10-15 minute walk to the Cal Campus or the upscale, but delicious Elmwood area. Animal friendly neighborhood, with a fairly strong neighborhood association. The Julia Morgan Theater and Benvenue Public Library as well as excellent schools are just some of the treasures of this area."
