Neighborhood Description El Cerrito was originally founded by refugees from the 1906 Earthquake and is now one of the Bay Area's best kept secret. With it's close proximity to San Franciso via 2 BART stops and the Casual Car Pool, Solano Avenue in Albany and Berkey for restaurants and shopping, and Wild Cat Canyon amoung many other parks and recreation areas, El Cerrito is a great place to call home. There is an incredible amount of desirable housing stock, much of which is in the hills while still being a short distance to public transportation and BART. Many of those hill homes offer the most spectacular views of the Bay, Bridges, Cities, and Mount Tamalpais that you will find anywhere in the Bay Area. El Cerrito is a friendly place and a manageable size. It has a wonderful new city Hall where you can go and speak to public officials and not feel like you are dealing with thousands of layers of buerocracy like you'd find in the larger cities nearby. There are some very good elementary schools where parental involvement is encouraged.
