Telegraph is the storied corridor at the edge of Berkeley’s campus life, where Telegraph Avenue buzzes with cafés, booksellers, murals, and street vendors. Days often start with the echo of buskers and the clink of coffee cups, and end with a film at the acclaimed BAMPFA or a performance at Cal Performances. The neighborhood’s energy is anchored by UC Berkeley, whose academic calendar and traditions give Telegraph a distinct rhythm. Community programming and street improvements from Telegraph Berkeley keep the corridor lively, safe, and walkable throughout the year.
For everyday living, you’ll find an easy mix of historic walk-ups and modern apartments, plus countless quick bites and late-night study spots. Families and future students benefit from the Berkeley Unified School District, with local assignment to well-regarded schools such as Willard Middle and Berkeley High. Car-free is simple here: multiple AC Transit lines crisscross the avenue, and the Downtown Berkeley Station puts regional rail within a short stroll. Weekend plans are effortless too—art house cinema, campus lectures, and farmers’ markets are nearby, and Downtown Berkeley and Oakland are just minutes away, with quick access to employers throughout Alameda County.
