Tucked along the waterfront, just a couple miles from downtown and less than 15 miles from San Francisco, lies the Northwest Berkeley area. Students, artists, professionals, and families are all proud to call this affordable and diverse community home. There's always something going on, someone trying something new, and plenty of shops, restaurants and events to explore. ** Public transportation in the area is excellent. The local light rail system, BART, has a station right in the neighborhood, and AC Transit runs buses through the area and through Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Shopping: With so many artists and entrepreneurs, it's not surprising that Northwest Berkeley is home to some extraordinary shopping. You can spend hours in Ocean View, window shopping on 4th Street between Hearst and Virginia. High-end name brands sit side by side with independent boutiques and shops. Stock your craft room with stationery and scrapbooking materials from Castle In the Air, a fine art supply store. Ocean View also boasts two indie bookstores and eco-friendly gardening and home goods. Whether you're a college transplant or simply love the thrill of questing, make a stop at Flight 001 to update your travel gear. Browse for trendy carry-on luggage, pillows and eye masks to prepare for a long flight, or invest in compact travel adapters and cases to keep your must-have devices close by for every second of your trip. If you value the story behind an object, check the daily finds at Social Studies, a home decor and clothing boutique dedicated to bringing small curated collections to shoppers who love artful design. Farther north is a second cluster of shops on Gilman Street. Here you'll find original designer clothing, such as knitwear from Nomadic Traders or boiled wool workwear from Two Star Dog. Feed your family with organic produce from the nearby Whole Foods Market, or hit up local independent grocers Berkeley Bowl or Berkeley Natural Grocery Company. You can also find international delicacies in one of the many high-end markets selling Italian foods, Spanish wines, Indian curries and carne asada. Parks and Recreation: For exercise, play and stunning Bay views, residents cross the Eastshore Freeway to the Berkeley Marina. Home to the Eastshore State Park, you can bike, walk, or jog through the trails of this park that stretches 8.5 miles along the coast. The preserved and protected wetlands have become an essential refuge for Bay Area wildlife and a favorite spotting location for bird watchers. Cross The Meadow and walk right out onto the fields and beaches of Cesar Chavez Park. Built on a converted landfill, today the park is beloved by nature lovers drawn to beaches, kite fliers drawn by the strong bay winds and dog walkers who can let their pups off the leash in the 17-acre dog park. The Berkeley Marina hosts several annual community events that range from Fourth of July fireworks to the annual Shoreline Clean-Up and the educational Berkeley Bay Festival. For those who'd rather not brave the ocean weather, head to the James Kenney Recreation Center instead. First designated a public park in 1917, today the on-site building serves as meeting space for the community. Outdoors you can run on the playground or join a game on one of the sports fields. James Kenney has facilities for baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis and volleyball. Further inland lies Cedar Rose Park. In addition to sports fields and playgrounds of its own, Cedar Rose has an amphitheater stage popular for local programming and is within walking distance from the local community gardens.
