Eclectic mix of features in small East Bay neighborhood
Shaped like a slice of pie, the Triangle neighborhood of Emeryville claims its fair share of the diversity that flourishes in this unique city between Oakland and Berkeley. A few blocks of single-family homes and several affordable housing complexes sit on one side of a major thoroughfare. On the other side are an abundance of restaurants and retail outlets. The headquarters of Pixar Animation Studios and a scattering of public art installations add to the creative vibe of the neighborhood. And a stretch of historic sites marks the city’s industrial and gambling roots. “It’s a vibrant community with a mix of different lifestyles,” says Sara Garabedian, a Realtor with Red Oak Realty. Garabedian worked with a landscape architect in the 1980s to restore dilapidated homes in the city.
The Triangle is full of nightlife and late night activities.

Art and history flavor the neighborhood
Every year, the city of Emeryville puts on a Celebration of the Arts, exhibiting the work of over 100 area artists. “Emeryville used to boast it had more artists than any other city in the United States,” says Rob Arias, founder of the E’ville Eye local news site. “They were getting pushed out of the San Francisco market and all these old warehouses in the Park Avenue historic quarter had the high ceilings and expansive spaces.” Some of these spaces in the Triangle area have been repurposed. A puppetmaker has set up shop in a building that was originally People’s Baking Company. Oru Kayak now occupies the former California Pickle and Sauce Company. The Oaks Card Club, owned by the same family for over a century, is still a thriving gambling house. It employs 300 people and keeps its doors open 24 hours. Also claiming deep roots in Emeryville’s history is the Bank Club, a former gambling parlor and now a hot spot for cocktails, karaoke and billiards.
The Triangle's newly opened Chik-Fil-A features a beautiful historic mural of Emeryville.
The Triangle residents can visit the Emeryville Public Market every year for an Art Celebration.

Diversity defines eateries and retail options
San Pablo Avenue, a wide thoroughfare with sidewalks and a landscaped median divides the Triangle. Tucked behind the Bank Club on this strip is Wally’s Cafe, a favorite of Pixar employees that offers up Lebanese lentil soup and baklava in a relaxed diner atmosphere. Community art is displayed on the walls of the worker-owned Arizmendi Bakery and Pizza, and Simurgh Bakery & Café serves Turkish simits and treats. Down the street is a Wing Stop, Los Cantaros Taqueria and an IHOP. At the southern end of the neighborhood, the East Bay Bridge shopping center includes Nordstrom Rack and big box stores like Target and Home Depot. Many entertainment options and stores, including Trader’s Joes, are within easy reach at Bay Street Emeryville mall.
Many residents of the Triangle neighborhood in Emeryville enjoy Bay Street restaurants.

Homes for sale are snatched up quickly
The Triangle includes more renters than homeowners, and much of the neighborhood is comprised of industrial and office space. In the residential areas, a mix of bungalows and four squares sit behind wide streets that feature sidewalks and bike paths. Some of the homes are updated with fresh paint, their compact lawns neatly landscaped with small trees and low bushes. An occasional one-car garage breaks the norm of paved driveways and street parking. Homes for sale are quickly snatched up, staying on the market for 16 days, compared to the national average of 44 days. Single-family homes range from about $820,000 to $1.3 million.
The Triangle features many smaller single family bungalow homes.

Scoot around town or head to Bay area attractions
A focus on infrastructure by city leaders has encouraged car-free living. For example, city leaders closed part of Doyle Street to cars during the pandemic to provide safe exercise space. They eventually made the closure permanent; the street is now a protected corridor for bicyclists and pedestrians. The city also built a bridge across the railroad tracks, making for an easier commute to nearby office buildings by foot or bike. The Emery Go-Round shuttle buses people around town and stops at nearby Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations. There are three bus stops on the San Pablo thoroughfare. The Alta Bates Medical Center Summit Campus is under four miles. Amtrak has an Emeryville Station connecting to the entire West Coast. Regional destinations are accessible by car as well. Interstate 580 runs through the south end of the neighborhood and connects to Interstate 80, crossing the the Bay Bridge into San Francisco. The Oakland International Airport is 14 miles south of Emeryville on I-880, and the San Francisco International Airport is about 22 miles away.
The BART connects The Triangle to the greater bay area.
The Triangle is served by AC Transit Bus Lines.
