Property DescriptionJust minutes from UC Berkeley, 2520 College Avenue stands out for both its location and its amenities. Every unit comes with one dedicated parking space at no extra cost -- a rare find in Berkeley -- and residents have access to a pool, courtyard, shared backyard with BBQ, common lounge, and bike storage, making it easy to decompress after a long day.
Day-to-day living is kept simple with in-unit washer/dryer in select homes, common area laundry, and on-site trash, recycling, and compost services.
