Berkeley's 4th Street, West Berkeley & Marina Neighborhood
Much of 4th Street (north of University Avenue) has been developed by Abrams, Milliken & Kent into Berkeley's most upscale shopping area.

Cody's Books just opened! Here are some photos we took at the grand opening

Originally, the town of Oceanview was here, and of the Victorian buildings and churches have been well preserved.

Some of the nicest consumer items here. A wonderful bookstore - Builder's Bookstore, Bette's Oceanview Diner, Sur La Table, Restoration Hardware.

Berkeley Pier originally ran several miles into the bay, and was a ferry pier. Now about a half mile of it is a fishing pier.

Near Ashby Avenue are Magic Gardens Nursery and Whole Earth Access.

Taking Amtrak to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, or Chicago? You can pick up the train in Berkeley's miniscule Amtrak Station (actually, just a bus shelter) at University Avenue and 3rd Street. The best train stations are at Emeryville and Jack London Square.

We Value Your Business And Appreciate Your Referrals
Almost all our clients have been referred to us by their friends, family, local neighborhood Realtor, or found us on the Internet. One of the nice benefits of a referral based business is that we get to work with people who are motivated, financially qualified, highly educated, decisive, pleasant, and have interesting backgrounds (one client won a Gold medal at the Olympics). What's particularly rewarding is how many of our buyers and sellers have become friends.

If you're planning to buy or sell a home, we'd appreciate the opportunity to show you how you'll benefit from our services. And, if you know a friend, neighbor, or family member who is buying, selling, or relocating anywhere in the United States, we'll be happy to check our extensive database of highly qualified Realtors and refer you to a great local Realtor.
