Why Live in Albany

Albany, California, is a small Bay Area city with a population of just over 20,000 that blends its unique history with a vibrant community. Originally known as Ocean View, the area was incorporated as Albany after locals fought against Berkeley's use of the land as a dumping ground. Today, Albany is known for its walkable shopping districts, scenic parks and highly rated schools. The small city has a mix of Craftsman and Mediterranean homes, which are zoned for the highly rated Albany City Unified School District

There's plenty to do in Albany, especially along Solano Avenue. This main drag is home to plenty of shops and restaurants, and hosts events like the annual Solano Avenue Stroll. The city has 16 parks, including the notable Albany Bulb, a waterfront park with walking trails and picnic areas.

Albany is pedestrian-friendly, thanks to the Ohlone Greenway, a paved walkway connecting parks and shopping areas. Commuters can also rely on public transportation, including local bus services linking to nearby BART stations. There's easy access to Interstates 580 and 80, though traffic can extend travel times to nearby cities like Oakland, 8 miles away.
