Wedged between Berkeley and Oakland at the edge of San Francisco Bay, Emeryville packs an outsized personality into just two square miles. Pixar Animation Studios calls this small city home, and that creative energy spills into everyday life — from the artists and filmmakers throughout town to the lively Public Market, where rotating specialty food vendors make lunch an event. Bay Street Emeryville draws shoppers with its open-air, main-street-style layout, while the nearby Bay Bridge makes San Francisco feel like a short hop.
Daily life blends walkable retail corridors with easy freeway and transit access, making Emeryville ideal for Bay Area commuters. Renters find sleek high-rise apartments, converted lofts, and newer mid-rise buildings, many with sweeping bay views. Neighboring Oakland and Berkeley add dining, nightlife, and culture minutes away.
