Emeryville, California is a small, highly urbanized city in Alameda County, nestled between Oakland and Berkeley on the east shore of San Francisco Bay. Covering just over two square miles, it has transformed from an industrial hub into a dense, transit connected center for tech, biotech, and creative industries, home to companies such as Pixar and Peet’s Coffee. With a population of around 13,000, Emeryville features a predominantly renter occupied housing stock and ongoing development focused on high density, mixed use projects. The city is known for its excellent transportation access, including Amtrak, major freeways, and free local shuttles, as well as its vibrant retail and entertainment destinations. Its location between major employment centers, combined with limited available land, continues to drive strong demand for both residential and mixed use redevelopment. Looking forward, major projects like the planned Sutter Health hospital campus signal significant investment, while the city continues to address challenges such as limited land availability, housing affordability, and infrastructure demand. These dynamics position Emeryville as one of the East Bay’s most desirable small cities for long term growth and reinvestment.
