Welcome to Claremont
Claremont sits directly south of UC Berkeley, straddling the line between Berkeley and Oakland at the mouth of a canyon. The neighborhood grew up around the Tudor Revival-style Claremont Club & Spa, which opened in 1915, and it's kept that same sense of historic elegance ever since — leafy streets, opulent 1920s homes, and one of the highest income levels of any neighborhood in the country.

History
Development took off around the opening of the Claremont Club & Spa in 1915, and the neighborhood filled in through the 1920s with the Tudor, California bungalow, and Prairie-style homes that still define its streets today. Many of these residences date to 1939 or earlier, giving Claremont a level of architectural consistency that's rare even by East Bay standards.
The Claremont Hotel
At the neighborhood's center, the iconic Claremont Hotel remains both a local landmark and a working destination for dining, spa services, and social events — giving residents a genuine sense of place rather than just a name on a map.
Everyday Life
Across from the hotel, the Berkeley Tennis Club anchors a stretch of neighborhood life where residents stop into Peet's Coffee or Fournée Bakery on the way to somewhere else. Further down Claremont Avenue, Star Grocery marks a small commercial pocket with a coffee shop, a specialty bookstore, and a florist that's been in the neighborhood since 1983.
Schools
Because the Berkeley–Oakland line runs through parts of Claremont, school assignment depends on exact address — but John Muir Elementary on Claremont Avenue and Willard Middle School are the public schools most commonly associated with the neighborhood.
Real Estate
Recent sales of Claremont's historic homes have ranged from roughly $1 million to $5 million, reflecting both the architectural pedigree and the neighborhood's enduring desirability.
