Why Live in Berry Creek
Berry Creek in Oroville is a rural neighborhood characterized by its secluded homes on large properties, often custom-built to individual tastes. The area is known for its scenic views, thanks to its location in the Sierra Nevada foothills. However, it is at high fire risk and was significantly impacted by the Bear Fire in 2020, leading to higher fire insurance costs. The community benefits from a dedicated fire department that monitors wildfire risks and informs residents about safety plans. Berry Creek is bordered by Lake Oroville, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hunting, fishing, and hiking.
