We live in a quiet,leafy neighborhood of detached homes, but also a block away from a commercial street, so we are walking distance to a supermarket, over 50 restaurants, 2 movie theaters, a hardware store and pretty much anything that you would need. We are 1 block away from a bus stop route that goes directly to Berkeley, downtown Oakland and to the BART station. The BART trains leave for San Francisco every 10 minutes for the 13 minute ride. Our home is a few miles away from several parks that offer great hiking and biking with views of the entire Bay Area and the solitude of a redwood forest. We are an easy drive to Marin County that offers wonderful outdoor activities including hiking in the mountains in redwood forests and walks along a stretches of isolated beaches. We are also about 40 miles from Napa Valley. A car is not necessary to live here, but would be helpful. We are willing to have you use our car.
