Living in Downtown
Our Neighborhood
Downtown Berkeley is a dynamic 25-block neighborhood located just west of UC Berkeley, within City Council District 4, represented by Councilmember Igor Tregub. Home to approximately 12,000 residents, Downtown Berkeley is experiencing ongoing residential growth, making it one of the most vibrant and evolving areas in the city.
The neighborhood boasts a diverse array of restaurants, cafés, bars, theaters, museums, and live music venues, offering something for everyone, including a Trader Joe's! At the heart of Downtown is the Downtown Berkeley BART Plaza, located on Shattuck Avenue between Center Street and Allston Way. This bustling transit hub not only connects the community to the greater Bay Area but also serves as a central gathering space for locals and visitors alike.
In addition to its central core, Downtown Berkeley is surrounded by vibrant neighborhoods and commercial districts, including Telegraph Avenue, North Shattuck, Elmwood, Lorin, and Fourth Street—all within easy walking distance. Whether you’re exploring eclectic shops, enjoying world-class dining, or catching a live show, Downtown Berkeley offers an energetic, urban experience like no other.
