Claremont Hills
Straddling the Berkeley-Oakland border at the foot of the East Bay hills, the Claremont Hills is one of the most sought-after residential neighborhoods in the entire Bay Area.
The neighborhood anchors around the iconic Claremont Club & Spa, a historic 1915 resort that serves as both a community landmark and a world-class fitness and wellness facility for residents. Quiet, tree-lined streets, generous lot sizes, and a strong architectural character give the area a settled, distinguished feel. Many properties offer sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and beyond.
UC Berkeley is just minutes away, making this an ideal location for faculty, staff, and anyone who values proximity to one of the world’s great universities. The Elmwood and Rockridge commercial districts are equally close, offering excellent dining, cafes, independent shops, and farmers markets.
For commuters, Rockridge BART and Highway 24 provide straightforward access to San Francisco and the broader Bay Area. Outdoor recreation is right at the doorstep — Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve borders the neighborhood with miles of hiking and running trails into the hills.
The Claremont Hills combine natural beauty, architectural quality, and genuine convenience in a way that’s hard to replicate elsewhere in the East Bay.
