Apartments for Rent in Elmwood - Berkeley

Exuding the eccentric charm Berkeley is known for, Elmwood is one of Berkeley’s best neighborhoods to live in. Located with walking distance of the University of California, Berkeley mixes the energy of a college town with a strong sense of community of a small town. Elmwood is best known for being home to the historic Elmwood Shopping District, a two-block hub featuring over 80 independently owned restaurants and shops. A plethora of international eateries reflect the diversity of the city while boutiques like Tail of the Yak Trading Company, a fanciful shop that sells eclectic gifts, illustrate the one-of-a-nature of the district. The historic Rialto Cinemas Elmwood hosts film festivals year-round while other venues also host community events. Conveniently, the iconic Telegraph Avenue (the center of Berkeley’s counter-culture movement) also runs through the neighborhood, providing even more amenities.

Along with the Elmwood Shopping District, renters are attracted to the neighborhood’s excellent location. The neighborhood is just two miles southwest of Downtown Berkley. Commuters appreciate being near several BART stations and several major roadways that will take them into other Bay Area cities, including Oakland and San Francisco. Rentals here are mid-range to upscale and include apartments, condos, and townhomes.
