The Martin Luther King Apartments is a 6-Plex building build in the early 1920's. It has a lot of charm and character, and beautiful hardwood floors.
The building is next to Ashby BART Station, and shopping.
History
This easy-going suburb across the bay from San Francisco is home to the University of California at Berkeley, the incubator for the antiwar movement of the 1960s and a longtime bastion of counterculture. People's Park, where antiwar protestors once gathered, has changed, however: The university turned it into a recreational area, complete with volleyball courts, over the protests of some who wanted to keep the park as it was.
The campus itself is lovely. Among the sites of interest to visitors are the botanical garden, Sather Tower (also known as Campanile), the Earth Sciences Building and the University Art Museum. The museum's Pacific Film Archive has a 200-seat auditorium that shows selections from its collection of more than 5,000 movies, many avant-garde and experimental, as well as copies of Soviet silent movies and perhaps the largest collection of Japanese movies outside Japan.
Near campus is the Chapel of the Pacific School of Religion, which contains one of the largest stained-glass windows in the world. Along Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley's bustling main drag, streams a colorful tide of humanity, from aging hippies to frenzied students to monied suburbanites. Lining the street are bookstores, boutiques, record shops, ethnic eateries and scores of sidewalk vendors. The city's Tilden Park is enormous, with a steam train, carousel, walking trails, a lake (with areas for swimming) and a nature center.
