Nightlife & Recreation
Doug Remmis - Real Estate Agent
Berkeley is home to an astounding 57 parks, which feature amenities such as sports fields and courts, swimming, and trails for jogging or walking. The city has also led movements to plant trees in urban areas and restore creeks and wetlands. Another well-known restoration project was transforming the city dump into the beautiful Cesar Chavez Park. One of Berkeley’s finest gems is Lake Anza near the Tilden Regional Park. It features nature trails, a beach, picnic space, and is a great place to take a dog. Places like this show how much care the city has for the environment and recreation.
Section 8 & Affordable
Doug Remmis - Real Estate Agent
Berkeley has an excellent Section 8 program available to its residents. Unlike most other cities, Berkeley puts its Section 8 listings online and updates them every week, so buyers won’t have to browse third-party sites that often try to scam them. On their webpage, the city even tells you which sites to stay away from, and posts steps that will guide you through the entire process. Berkeley received 37,000 requests for Section 8 housing during the last waitlist application process, which shows how many people in the area need the program. Fortunately, Berkeley is steps above everyone else in addressing this problem.
