A Present for You!

Finding the Right Neighborhood for You!

I have a present for you. One of several, in fact. I am going through the neighborhoods in the East Bay to help you in your housing search. The first Neighborhood Guide just came out for Alameda. Oakland and Berkeley are coming in the next month. Others will follow for Richmond, Albany, El Cerrito, San Leandro, etc. Ultimately, all the cities and neighborhoods of the Inner East Bay (the more urban section) will be bound into a book to give you an overview.

Of course, we will still visit the neighborhood,s but this will allow you to do that first paring down, and focus your housing search. And what is in the neighborhood guide?

A map with the boundaries of the neighborhood
A descriptive section that will give you a little history, character, and real estate of the specific neighborhood
Walk, bike, and transit scores
A QR code that links to a page with more updated info about the neighborhood, with new restaurants/cafes, events, and businesses

Do you want a copy of our first neighborhood guide for Alameda?

Send me an email and tell me if you want a digital flipbook or a physical copy. Include your email and mailing address so I can get one to you.

I am looking forward to helping you find your place in the world.
