Neighbourhood
Albany is often described as "an urban village by the Bay." Our location is super safe, friendly, well-connected to Bay Area public transportation (BART & AC Transit), and, most importantly, extremely walkable to an incredible array of unique shops, restaurants, markets, and many other amenities. More info: https://www.510families.com/albany-ca-with-kids/
Solano Avenue is a 2-mile commercial street just one block north from our home with so many great shops and eateries to explore. More info: https://www.solanoavenueassn.org/solano-avenue-directory/
Westbrae is another neighborhood: a much smaller group of shops, restaurants, and services just 2 blocks south of us in the other direction. More info: https://www.lovewestbrae.com/
Across the street from us is the Ohlone Greenway which has walking and bike paths connecting you to shopping/restaurant areas, BART stations, and our neighboring communities. The OG is great for people-watching and the elevated BART track reminds you that you are so close to San Francisco! More info: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/ohlone-greenway
Other attractions:
Albany Public Library-7 houses away
Memorial Park & Aquatic Center & Public Tennis Courts
Albany Beach and Albany Bulb on the SF Bay
https://www.albanyca.org/our-city/parks-facilities
UC Berkeley campus (2 miles away)
https://visit.berkeley.edu/campus-tours/self-guided-tours-maps
Basically everything you need is within walking distance!
Otherwise, we have a robust bus system serving our area (AC Transit), and BART trains that can take you all over San Francisco, the East Bay, and San Mateo County & San Jose to the south.
