Watergate residents enjoy tide sounds and waterfront parks
Every morning, residents of Watergate wake up to the sound of the tide from the San Francisco Bay hitting the sides of docks and shores, boats turning the engine to head out on the water. With premium dining and shopping, access to fantastic schools and plenty of waterside parks, it’s a great place to settle for those who want to live bayside. This condominium community is situated on the Emeryville Peninsula, only 4 miles southwest of downtown Berkley.
The Emeryville Marina sits at the west end of Watergate.
The Watergate Community has corner views towards the marina and the bay.

Waterfront condos with full amenities and scenic views
Watergate’s recreational-residential space is a world of low-rise condominiums. A bird’s eye view will reveal the many carefully interlinked buildings that make up the Watergate community, spreading over 26 acres of manicured grounds. Originally built as apartments, the units of Watergate were converted into condos by 1979, and they’ve been meticulously maintained since then. The condominium complex is a one-stop shop for amenities, offering its residents the luxury of a gym and recreation center, pools and saunas, 24-hour security – and the list goes on. Of course, half the appeal is that the housing is directly on the water, the property built upon the peninsula. Residents get a daily view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the rolling rise of distant hills and mountains. The median selling price for a one-bedroom condo in Watergate is $440,000, while two-bedroom units spike up to $645,000.
Watergate Community offers residents swimming pools and tennis courts.
Watergate's marina is bordered by a walkable pier.

Public schools offer arts, language support and college prep
Many public institutions are served by the Berkley Unified School District, though some fall under the Emery Unified School District. There are several schools that children may attend in the area, so choices are plentiful. If following the Berkeley pipeline, they may start at Berkeley Arts Magnet Elementary, referred to as BAM. Touting an overall A grade from Niche, BAM provides cross-disciplinary education, believing that a blend of both rigorous academics and access to art expression is the key to well-rounded learning. Students move on to Martin Luther King Jr. Middle, which takes home yet another A from Niche and is placed in the top percentile for middle schools within California. They provide a newcomer program for children arriving from other countries or learning English as a second language. The final step of primary education may happen at Berkley High, graded with an impressive A-plus by Niche. A genuine effort to close the achievement gap between the diverse student population began in 2000. Berkeley High stays committed to providing all students with a full range of progressive academics and rigorous college prep.
Berkeley Arts Magnet at Whittier School offers a rich curriculum in both academics and arts.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School offers tennis, a pool and track & field.
Emery High School has a sprawling campus with over 200 students enrolled.

Peninsula location means daily access to bay views and boats
