About This Home
Tucked into Berkeley’s Northside neighborhood just moments from UC Berkeley, 2421 Hilgard Ave offers a rare opportunity to own a classic fourplex in one of the city’s most sought-after residential pockets. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street near the Euclid corridor, the property combines a peaceful setting with close access to campus, shops, and dining. The building features four 1BD/1BA units across 2,890 sq ft, along with a 1-car garage and a large attic space that may offer future expansion potential (buyer to verify). One unit will be delivered vacant, providing an immediate opportunity for owner occupancy while maintaining income from the remaining units. With strong, consistent rental demand tied to its campus-adjacent location, this is a unique chance to own a character-rich asset in a supply-constrained North Berkeley neighborhood.
