Introduction
About Albany, California

There are two key aspects to the small town of Albany, California that might be most attractive for potential homebuyers:  families (the vast majority of its inhabitants are in family households) and diversity (it’s one of the most ethnically diverse cities in California).  Albany, California is also known for having a safe community, and the schools are constantly ranked among the best in the state.  Albany's location is ideal being close to both San Francisco and Berkley, and the city has recently renovated several of its houses and apartments that were built on the island after World War II.
