The Berkeley Hills are home to amazing city views, old money and a veritable fleet of Priuses. Oh, and some pretty amazing homes with pretty amazing views.

Prices have held up better than most parts of the Bay Area, since the area remains very desirable. Even though affordability isn’t the best in Berkeley, as you go up the hill, further from downtown, BART and San Francisco, you can pick up a pretty
sweet home without breaking the bank.

Like this one.

A full-sized basketball court, amazing city views and a retro style with modern upgrades. The exterior could use a little TLC, and the master bedroom shares a bathroom with what could be the kids’ rooms, so the home isn’t perfect, but it’s a pretty unique setting up there on the hill.

There’s little question about the house itself –  but is it priced
well enough to be a deal??

Bdrms, living & dining room all open to the outdoors making the separation between the outside and inside disappear. Great location just a few minutes from N. Berk. shops & Tilden Prk.
