Albany, CA

united states

Albany is a small Bay Area city between Berkeley and El Cerrito, right off Interstate 80. The freeway provides easy access to San Francisco and Sacramento, while local routes like Solano Avenue connect to neighboring Berkeley. Despite being just 1.8 square miles, Albany has maintained its residential character with tree-lined streets full of early 1900s Craftsman homes. The quirky Albany Bulb art park on the bay features dozens of sculptures made from driftwood and debris.
