About This Home

As of September 2020

Check out our 3D virtual tour! Located in the heart of one of the East Bay’s up-and-coming neighborhoods is 1885 Alcatraz, a three-unit (two residential, one commercial) Victorian that’s a rare combination of size, beauty, and value. The lone commercial unit is on the ground floor, while two residential units are located on the second and third floors. For investors not interested in owning a commercial unit, please note that it can possibly be converted to a residential space due to the building’s location within the South Area Commercial District (C-SA). All units will be delivered vacant. Given the building’s proximal location 5 minutes to downtown Berkeley, it’s unlikely the units will remain vacant for long. This means the new owners will not only be able to resume occupancy quickly, but they’ll be able to handpick their tenants at the established market rents. The property is also in a great Berkeley School District, offering great schools nearby.
