About Thousand
Oaks
Thousand Oaks, located between Solano Avenue and the Berkeley Hills, is a residential and hillside Berkeley neighborhood with winding streets and oak-shaded greenbelts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Solano Avenue at Colusa Avenue, where sidewalk cafes, independent grocers, and small specialty shops set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Mid-century and traditional homes step along sloped lots, with frequent bay-view glimpses between trees. Indian Rock Park and nearby trails shape an outdoors-forward routine. Community pillars include Indian Rock Park, the Solano Avenue Stroll, and the historic Solano Avenue corridor’s long-running local storefronts.
