Most of homes in this neighborhood are California bungalow and craftsman styles and have a medium size backyard. They have charming feel of early 1900 architecture, and based on my experience most of them are tastefully upgraded. One of the nice features of this neighborhood is its walkability to College Ave. This street stretches over a mile in the heart of Rockridge and Bart station sits right in the middle of it.  Rows of wonderful restaurants (some of them of Michelin starts, popular café and tea shops, specialized or essential businesses and boutiques makes this stretch a popular place for locals.  I love to take my friends or my out of state guests to College Ave for a stroll of half a day of fun. There is so much to discover and love in Rockridge.
