Fat Apples Neighborhood

Neighborhood

Surrounded by tree-lined hills, views of the San Francisco Bay, and located just a few miles from the shoreline, El Cerrito is a beautiful town in the Bay Area. The neighborhoods in El Cerrito reflect the town’s Mid-century charm and appeal; and although most of the homes look like they were built in the 1940s and 1950s, they have been updated to satisfy modern tastes! The area is rich in music history as well: El Cerrito is the birthplace of John Fogerty and the famous rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival.

If you love golf, hiking, or several other outdoor activities, El Cerrito has great options for you. Berkeley Country Club has been a staple in the community for nearly 100 years, and its beautiful 18-hole golf course provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay Area Bridge. Hikers love Hillside Natural Area; provides over 100 acres of open grasslands, and is a great place to take your dog on a walk. If you prefer to take your dog to a park where they can interact with other furry friends, Point Isabel Dog Park is a great option.

El Cerrito Plaza, located near the intersection of San Pablo Avenue and Fairmount Avenue, serves several purposes. First, it is El Cerrito’s premier shopping center. It also features a BART station which makes commuting to and from San Francisco super convenient. El Cerrito also boasts an International delight of foods, grocery stores, and commerce. 

From great food and shopping to convenient access to public transit, plus scenic views at every turn, El Cerrito has it all!
