I love Berkeley! The Bay Area is an international, accepting part of California. I feel like I could walk around in the strangest of outfits, and no one would think twice. It is also full of studious souls who attend and/or teach at the University.
Westbrae has close access to AC Transit for local busses, as well as BART and transbay AC Transit busses for fast commuting. There are a lot of pedestrian paths (beyond just sidewalks), and there is a lot of infrastructure for bikes (bike lanes and so-called "bicycle boulevards"). North Berkeley BART even has taxis waiting around if you need that, and Uber cars are never too far.
Biking and walking are a delight because despite feeling like a small town Berkeley (and Westbrae) are pretty dense, so you're never too far from an interesting commercial street or park or something.

More urban and dense than most other Bay Area cities, so even when you're in an area with single-family homes they're packed closely together.
It's way more affordable than San Francisco, but it's no Oakland when it comes to finding a discount. The quality of the housing stock is in general better - a lot of homeowners who keep up their property and a little less inclined to have deferred maintenance.
Vacant lots are hard to come by, and virtually every neighborhood is walkable. There are a few busy streets, but cars here tend to respect pedestrians.
