Living in St. Jerome's, El Cerrito

As El Cerrito's most popular neighborhood, St. Jerome's enjoys a wonderful mix of old residents and young professional families who call home to this small four block radius bordering Albany.

The homes here tend to be more expensive than other El Cerrito properties because of the neighborhood's cache. Built in the 30s and 40s, the most houses are smaller 2-3 bedrooms with lots of charm. Many of them are spacious, well-built, split-level bungalows which have been remodeled to show off the beautiful detailing, finely constructed built-ins and polished wood floors. The neighbors in St. Jerome's take pride in their gardens and most homes have well groomed front and back yards.

St. Jerome's can't be beat for convenience. It's just two blocks off of Memorial Park in Albany and Solano Avenue. The newly renovated El Cerrito Plaza is nearby as is a BART station. It's a short walk to Fat Apple's and the wonderful yarn shop on Fairmount, or to Kensington Circle with its corner grocery store, Semifreddi's Bakery, and The Pub.
