Emeryville

A compact bayside city of lofts, live-work and easy regional access.

The Character

Emeryville is a small, densely built city between Oakland and Berkeley, known for converted industrial buildings, loft and live-work housing, and a concentration of retail and employment in a very compact footprint.

It suits buyers who want an urban format and central regional access — bridges, freeways and transit are all close at hand.

What To Weigh

  • 01Housing is predominantly condominium, loft and live-work rather than traditional single-family.
  • 02Association documents, seismic history and building systems warrant close review.
  • 03Character varies between the waterfront, the retail core and the residential edges.
