Berkeley luxury homes are found in the hills above the city, and the University of California. These hill homes represent the location of some of the most dramatic views anywhere. Many of these homes have been designed to take advantage of the ever changing panorama of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin County.
Many of these homes were built in the early 1900's, and represent the more classic architectural lines of the era. These include Craftsman, Brown Shingle, Victorian and Spanish styling, often created by famous local architects. Many are found around the popular Claremont neighborhood, or above the UC Campus.
As one moves uphill, closer Grizzly Peak and the Tilden Park areas, the homes become more modern, and the styles change. From the older traditional, newer designs tend toward open floor plans with floor to ceiling windows, and dramatic balconies designed to draw in the dramatic views. More modern amenities are available like upgraded kitchens, indoor gyms, and entertainment centers.
