Key Words:

Waterfront Trail Access, Low-maintenance Homes, Fast Freeway Commute

East Shore offers bayfront living in a row of modern condos and townhouses lining Pierce Street with sweeping sunset views across the water. The Bay Trail and Peggy Thomsen Park sit just outside most front doors, letting joggers, dog walkers, and cyclists connect all the way to Berkeley Marina or Richmond’s shoreline paths. Shopping is practical rather than charming-big-box retail and groceries are a five-minute drive at Eastshore or El Cerrito Plaza. Highway and rail noise are the trade-offs for quick I-80 access, but double-pane windows and newer construction keep interiors surprisingly quiet. HOA communities handle exterior upkeep, attracting professionals and downsizers who want low-maintenance homes plus wilderness vibes at Albany Hill Park across the street.
