Panoramic Hill
Living with Nature...
“Not only is this an area of great architectural significance, but the intimate relationship between houses, paths, and landscaping—all perched on the hillside, with narrow, circuitous Panoramic Way as their common bond—has resulted in a most charming and scenic district.Panoramic Hill has been compared to a European hill town, but with its brown-shingle houses and lush vegetation, this “hill town” could only be found in the Bay Area. There are few sidewalks, but the many steps and paths will let you bypass the street often. The stunningly beautiful and romantic Orchard Lane, a classically inspired stairway designed in 1910 by Henry Atkins of Vickery, Atkins & Torrey, begins at the foot of the hill. Leading off in another direction is quiet Mosswood Path with its soft carpet of redwood needles. Arden Steps is arduous, but well worth the climb.Co-existing with the early homes are some of the finest mid-century Modern houses. Set in such proximity, one can readily see the continuity and harmony between the redwood houses of the two eras.”*
Berkeley is home to one of the nation's most renowned universities, providing intellectual and cultural enrichment to its residents. The university campus is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown, offering a vibrant blend of academic and urban energy. Berkeley has a long history of culinary innovation, with locals flocking to the original Peet's Coffee & Tea, Chez Panisse, Nabolom Bakery, Corso and the ever vibrant Cheeseboard. Residents who prefer to prepare meals at home can enjoy shopping like Europeans, hopping from store to store in nearby retail districts to gather fresh and artisan ingredients.
Adjacent to the Claremont Canyon regional preserve, Panoramic Hill boasts 208 scenic acres of picturesque hiking trails, off-leash dog areas, and equestrian paths. This natural oasis provides a tranquil refuge for wildlife and residents alike.
The Hill's diverse demographic includes longtime residents, families, professors, and students. The neighborhood is centered around Telegraph Avenue, Bancroft Way, and College Ave, where street vendors, bookstores, galleries, record shops, cafes, and eateries cater to the local community. The proximity to campus, The Greek Theatre, Zellerbach Hall, and Downtown Berkeley theaters ensures abundant nightlife options.
Transportation is convenient, with the Downtown Berkeley BART station and several Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses serving the neighborhood. This accessibility makes it easy to reach downtown San Francisco, local airports, sports stadiums, and other destinations in the Bay Area.
