Coverage

Every Berkeley neighborhood, plus the neighbors.

Vans stage near University Ave and San Pablo Ave, so most of the city is about 19 minutes away. The hills run longer, and each area page says by how much.

Berkeley neighborhoods

Inside Berkeley

Downtown Berkeley

~12 min

Shattuck Ave shops behind aluminum and glass, small office suites on the floors above them, two BART garages, and theater nights that run long after the retail doors have been keyed shut.

Local page

Southside & Telegraph

~14 min

The blocks below campus: Telegraph Ave shops, co-ops, shared flats and houses of five or six, where keys have been circulating since long before anyone now living there signed a lease.

Local page

North Berkeley & the Gourmet Ghetto

~15 min

Shattuck north of University with its bakeries, wine shops and dining rooms, quiet blocks of shingle and stucco houses one street back, and North Berkeley BART at the western edge.

Local page

Elmwood

~16 min

Houses from the 1910s and 20s on the streets either side of College Ave, owners who have carried the same key for decades, side gates onto narrow driveways, and a compact row of shops around Ashby Ave.

Local page

Berkeley Hills

~26 min

Winding roads above Euclid Ave and Grizzly Peak Blvd, houses set a flight or two off the street, gates at the sidewalk, garages tucked under the living room, and the longest honest estimate in the city.

Local page

West Berkeley

~16 min

The flats west of San Pablo Ave: converted warehouses, workshops, small laboratories and design studios, plus the Fourth Street retail row and the cottages tucked between them.

Local page

Claremont

~20 min

Big older homes on the slopes below and above the Claremont Hotel, sloped driveways and back stairs, side doors nobody has used in years, and blocks where a one in the morning call finishes without waking anyone.

Local page

Thousand Oaks & Westbrae

~18 min

Bungalows from the 1920s to the 1940s on family streets in the north-west corner of the city, Solano Ave shops at one end, Indian Rock Park at the other, and detached garages that were never keyed to the house.
