Here are just a few of the things Ted and Debbie love about living here.
This is a wonderful neighborhood and a great house. The neighbors are friendly and there is a real sense of community.
We love the convenience to local markets, restaurants, and public transportation - and downtown Berkeley is about a mile away.
We shop almost daily at the nearby Berkeley Natural Grocery, Monterey Fish Market, and Monterey Market. Be sure to check out the Country Cheese Market and Magnani's Poultry. Gioia's Pizza is the best thin crust pizza around and don't forget Lalime's!
We are sad to be leaving, but we are very happy to be moving closer to our two daughters who both live on the East Coast.
