Neighborhood
This close-knit community of Albany once consisted of the pipe fitters, welders, and shipbuilders that were employed here during World War II. Today, Albany is home to a diverse group of professionals who support the local schools with a passion. Bustling Solano Avenue, with its incredible array of restaurants, independent cinema, and shopping, is proof that there's more to Albany than its stellar school system. Albany is especially appreciated as a sunny walkable neighborhood, with Solano Avenue as its east-west axis. The annual Solano Avenue Stroll, which takes place the second Sunday in September, shows off all 26 blocks -- from the Albany Twin theater, which shows an eclectic mix of independent features, to the family-run Sunny Side Up Cafe, a weekend destination for bringing the kids and the family dog. Other neighborhood amenities include an excellent Farmer's Market twice per week at El Cerrito Plaza, several nearby food outlets including Sprouts, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods, and a BART station less than 1.5 miles away.
