About
LeConte
LeConte, located between Shattuck Avenue and Telegraph Avenue, is a residential and academic Berkeley neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a campus-edge buzz. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Telegraph Avenue corridor near Dwight Way, where record shops, indie bookstores, coffee counters, and late-night bites set a steady street rhythm. Craftsman bungalows and classic Berkeley brown-shingle homes mix with small apartment buildings along quieter side streets. UC Berkeley’s southside paths and bike traffic shape daily movement. Community pillars include Moe’s Books, the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and the UC Theatre Taube Family Music Hall.
