How close do want to live to Berkeley? The BART runs through from Bay Point to concord to Union City to S.F. so transportation is pretty easy. I can tell you the cities NOT to live in. =) Antioch, Pittsburg, Bay Point, Oakland... Brentwood is nice, Some parts of Concord are nice. San Ramon, Dublin, Clayton are all very nice but a little pricey. Email me if you need more info
