Albany is located on the Eastern shores of the San Francisco Bay across the water from the Golden Gate Bridge and borders the cities of Berkeley, El Cerrito and Richmond. Albany’s location, off Interstate 80 and just a few miles from the Oakland to San Francisco Bay Bridge, plus numerous bus lines and a nearby BART station help provide easy transportation access to Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco and beyond.
Albany successfully combines the feel of a safe, small town, within the reaches of major metropolitan areas. Made up primarily of single family residences, Albany provides numerous community programs and services for children, families and the elderly. The small town character is exemplified by numerous thriving independent businesses along Albany’s main street, Solano Avenue. In recent years, the excellence of the Albany’s public schools has drawn families to the community for the outstanding student test scores which rank among the highest in the state.
