"There are many parks to walk to within the downtown area, but it is very busy and might not be a place where little dogs feel comfortable."

"Awfully expensive, human feces everywhere, and low quality of living for what you pay. But it’s near San Francisco so it must be great!"

"I have lived in downtown Berkeley for 9 years. It is unique because of all of the different kinds of restaurants, cafes, the library, three theaters in a 3 block radius of one another, places to see live music, free classes at the library and other places, the jazz school, Berkeley Rep, Freight and Salvage, two institutions of higher education, and more! 😊"
