$2,295/month

1 Bed / 1 Bath Lower Unit in the Heart of Solano Avenue Walk to Shops, Cafes, Dining & More

Live just steps from everything Solano Avenue has to offer in one of Berkeley's most charming and walkable neighborhoods. Nestled at the rear of a Solano Ave facing property (with a quieter Peralta Ave address), this classic lower-level apartment places you in the middle of a vibrant retail corridor filled with cafes, restaurants, fitness studios, grocery stores, and local shops.

Walk just a few doors down to Barney's Burgers, grab coffee from one of several nearby cafes, or choose from nearly every cuisine imaginable within a short stroll. Safeway is only a block away, OrangeTheory Fitness is a couple blocks down the street, and Anytime Fitness and Andronico's Market are just a few blocks further up Solano. El Cerrito BART is about a 6-minute drive away or less than a 10-minute bike ride.

The apartment itself is a charming 1 bed / 1 bath lower unit in a classic older Berkeley property near Solano Ave, behind Talavera Taqueria. The unit features refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and abundant windows that bring in great natural light.

Includes a large garage space suitable for storage or a small car. (Garage does not have an automatic door.)

This is a rare opportunity to live in an incredibly convenient and lively North Berkeley location while still enjoying the charm of a classic Berkeley apartment.

A small well maintained daytime parklet with comfotable shaded seating is close by.

AC Transit stops are just around the corner on Solano Ave, approximately a 1-2 minute walk from the apartment. Nearby lines include the 18 bus with direct access to Downtown Berkeley, North Berkeley BART, Rockridge, and Oakland, as well as nearby connections to UC Berkeley and El Cerrito. North Berkeley and El Cerrito Plaza BART stations are both just a short drive or bike ride away, and Berkeley Amtrak / Capitol Corridor service is easily accessible for regional travel.

Please note: because the property is adjacent to a restaurant, there can occasionally be food smells during business hours. There is no laundry on-site.

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
