Why Live in Emeryville

Emeryville, CA sits on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay between Oakland and Berkeley, with about 13,000 residents across roughly two square miles. Its location near major freeways and the South Bayfront Bridge makes it a practical base for people who commute to San Francisco or downtown Oakland, and large employers like Pixar Animation Studios and Peet’s Coffee and Tea are based here. Sustainability is a priority, with default electricity set to Ava’s Renewable 100 Service, LED streetlights, and a Street Tree Plan to add more than 300 new trees by 2025. Bay Street is a central commercial and residential hub with shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and an indoor ice-skating rink, while the Triangle Neighborhood has early-1900s bungalows and 4-square homes, some needing foundation, wiring, or plumbing updates; condos are more common overall and tend to be newer and more modern. Local attractions include the Emeryville Marina with Bay views, Horton Landing Park for biking, Shorebird Park with shoreline access, Huchiun Park with sensory play structures, and McLaughlin Eastshore State Park’s network of pedestrian and bike trails. Daily needs are covered by Trader Joe’s, Pak ‘N Save Foods, Powell Street Plaza Shopping Center, 40th Street Shopping Plaza, and the Public Market food hall with 18 global dining options. Getting around is supported by Interstates 580 and 80, a bike share program, the busy Emeryville Amtrak station, and the free Emery Go Round shuttle that links to nearby BART stations.
