Edit
El Cerrito is a suburban Bay Area city positioned right between Berkeley and Richmond. Predominately a residential community, the local rental market is huge, and ranges from luxury apartments to condos to single-family homes on quiet neighborhood streets. The area offers ample opportunities to spend quality time outdoors: Hillside Natural Area provides great views of San Francisco Bay, and the sprawling Wildcat Canyon Regional Park is loaded with trails through the unspoiled rolling hills. The close proximity to larger cities like San Francisco and Oakland makes El Cerrito a popular option for commuters, and BART rail service makes it easy to get around the area without having to drive.
