Santa Fe sits between the bustle of San Pablo Avenue and the calmer streets edging Golden Gate. Single-story bungalows and 1920s duplexes dominate the tree-lined core, while newer townhomes fill former light-industrial lots along Doyle and Orpheum. Residents like the easy routine: morning coffee at Scarlet City Roasting, groceries at nearby Berkeley Bowl West or Pak ‘n Save, and dog walks to Dover or Bushrod parks just across the border. Cyclists roll in eight minutes to Ashby BART, and AC Transit’s 72 lines make a car optional for downtown Oakland or UC Berkeley commutes. Life here still carries some grit-freight rumble from the Amtrak line, late-night traffic on San Pablo, and occasional block-studio art parties that keep things lively past quiet-hours-but community groups are active, new murals brighten alley faces, and weekend pop-ups in Stanford Avenue yards showcase the neighborhood’s growing creative streak.
