Emeryville, California

emeryville is a great place to live Hip lofts, water views, bay breezes, a marina and nearby freeways make Emeryville popular with locals and commuters alike — not to mention fantastic local jobs, Trader Joe’s and Ikea. 

Emeryville is a tiny city by the Bay, tucked between Oakland and Berkeley. It has  transformed its industrial heritage into a home for top biotech and design companies. 

When I came to the East Bay, Emeryville was nearly all factories! No Ikea, no shops, no condos. With smart planning, this town, which hugs the Bay and counts itself as the start to a bike trail over the Bay Bridge, is hip and very livable.

Today a free shuttle to BART makes commuting a breeze, and the city has cool, old Victorians alongside modern lofts, along with tall condos featuring full San Francisco Bay views.

Here are some areas and developments to consider if you’re interested in living on the water in Emeryville:
