The Berkeley Townhouse Cooperative
The only mid-rise development in Berkeley reserved for residents 55 years old and up.

Unlike most retirement communities located in the isolated suburbs, the 9 story residential tower located at 2550 Dana St known as the Berkeley Townhouse Cooperative (BTC) features urban living at its best. What is urban living? It is where opportunities for shopping, restaurants, cafes, and culture are all within walking distance.

In the case of the BTC, here are just a few of the things nearby:
Berkeley Bowl
Whole Foods
Andronicos
Peet’s Coffee
Noah’s Bagels
Shakespeare Books
Moe’s Books
U.C.Berkeley’s beautiful park-like campus
A.C. Transit bus lines
And in Downtown Berkeley:
BART
Several movie theatres
Berkeley Rep Theatre
Jazz School and club
Many excellent restaurants

Unit 8D in the BTC is for sale. This is a 680 sq ft south facing unit with exceptional views of San Francisco, the Bay, the Golden Gate bridge and the Berkeley Hills. There is one bedroom and one bath, an open and inviting floorplan, and five different closets. What was originally an open lanai (balcony) has been enclosed for additional living space. The kitchen has a new refrigerator and a rarely used stove. This unit also includes a deeded parking space in the garage (not all units include parking).

The building has a total of 60 units. The common areas, all on the ground level, include a commercial kitchen, card room, movie area and several social areas. There is also a separate library/reading room.

The original promotional material, when units were first offered for sale (1962), brag about the quality of construction, with 9” concrete floors and double walls for soundproofing, wall-hung toilets (for easier cleaning), and a basement garage with a floor between four and ten feet thick (and 5,544,000 lbs of concrete!).

Unit 8D is on the market for $352,000. Attractive financing is available.

Showings are by appointment with listing agent Brett Weinstein
