Claremont & Claremont Hills (Berkeley, CA)

Straddling the Oakland–Berkeley border, the Claremont neighborhood combines architectural grandeur with a refined sense of calm. Graceful tree-lined streets feature stately period homes — Craftsman, Tudor, and Mediterranean among them — many positioned to capture sweeping Bay views.

At its heart is the iconic Claremont Resort & Spa, a historic landmark that anchors the neighborhood’s identity and offers resort-style amenities. The adjacent Claremont Boulevard (the location of a Grubb Company office) and College Avenue corridors provide a thoughtful mix of cafes, boutiques, and gourmet markets.

Claremont Hills, extending into the hills above, offers larger lots, modern estates, and direct access to East Bay Regional Parks and trail systems. Convenient freeway access and proximity to the Ashby and Rockridge BART stations make commuting effortless while maintaining a serene residential atmosphere.

With its storied history, architectural richness, and rare blend of prestige and tranquility, Claremont continues to attract those seeking elegance and easy access to both nature and culture.
