Enjoy the "Small-Town feel and worldly culture of Berkeley's "Gourmet Ghetto"
Just two blocks from your home is the renown eating establishments of the Gourmet Area, two major grocery stores, the serenity of Alone Park and all the venues of Downtown Berkeley.

The East Bay Express Describes the Area as: The area is pleasant, with its central boulevard, Shattuck Avenue, bordered by trees. Many businesses have sidewalk tables, and a casual, leisurely mood prevails. You could wander for hours in the morning, just sampling coffee and pastries here and there
