  • Kari Shimmel
    "You’ll need to drive to most jobs as public transit doesn’t provide the kind of coverage needed to efficiently move into Detroit or the high density employment areas. Most of our neighbors have commutes of 15 minutes or less whether it’s side streets or highways. It’s a 15-20 minute drive into downtown Detroit or 15 minutes into Birmingham or Royal Oak in high traffic times. "
  • Kim Lively
    "This neighborhood is safe but like all aspects of life , use common sense and keep your kids supervised."
  • Kari Shimmel
    "Berkley days, themed events for just about every holiday, sidewalk sales, block parties and Halloween is epic. "
  • Spenc113
    "No dog parks are available. No dogs are allowed in parks. The area is very walkable with your dog. No open areas that allow dogs"
  • Amanda M.
    "There are no designated dog parks that I know of but definitely a good neighborhood to walk your dog."
  • Kayla L.
    "Block parties, and the fair during the summer and the pride in local middle and high school sports. People say hi when you see them. People wave at you from their homes when you’re on a walk."
  • Rpolice
    "The neighborhood is safe and people watch out for each other’s kids. Most people have children on our street."
  • Mike M.

    "I drive 3 miles south of the City of Oak Park. But Berkley is close to major roadways & freeways and it is easy to travel to the north, south, east, and west. "
  • DayJah M.
    "It’s a dog friendly environment, almost everyone has dogs. They’re very welcoming to the new neighbors and if your dog so happens to get loose, they’ll be returned safely and promptly."
  • C.stearns789
    "I’ve lived here for six years. What I love is it’s a Small city with a walkable “big city” feel because you can walk. I enjoy the diversity and that there are sidewalks :)"

You can't go wrong with the current housing prices in this area. It's quite, very clean and the people out here are very friendly. Berkley is a great area to settle down and enjoy your surroundings. L.S."
