Tucked in between Berkeley and El Cerrito, you’ll find the city of Albany. Five square miles in area, Solano and San Pablo Avenues are Albany’s main, vibrant thoroughfares. They are lined with shops, restaurants, art galleries and a movie theater. Community events and seasonal celebrations happen here year-round.

​

Albany has fairly dense residential neighborhoods that feature modest Craftsman bungalows, cottages and Mediterranean-style homes on quiet, tree-lined streets. Albany is known for its award-winning public schools which drive prices higher than similar homes in surrounding towns.

Freeway I-80/580 is nearby. The El Cerrito and North Berkeley BART stations are minutes away by car. Transbay buses will get you over the Bay Bridge to downtown San Francisco.
