About Student Housing in Emeryville
Emeryville is a small, dense city wedged between Oakland and Berkeley, known for its concentration of tech and biotech employers and some of the Bay Area's best Amtrak and transit connections. Its student housing market is secondary — most renters here are young professionals — but some UC Berkeley and Mills College students live here for the transit access and relative affordability compared to Berkeley proper. The Bay Bridge access makes San Francisco 20 minutes away, and the Emery-Go-Round free shuttle connects to BART's MacArthur and Emeryville stations.
