Local Experts in Berkeley, Not a Distant Call Center
From apartments near the UC Berkeley campus to craftsman homes in Elmwood and North Berkeley, rents and renter expectations shift across the city. Our managers know this market, so your pricing and leasing decisions rest on real local knowledge, not a distant script.
Berkeley combines one of the country's top public universities with a deep, year-round rental market. UC Berkeley students, faculty, researchers and East Bay professionals all compete for housing, keeping vacancy low near campus, along the Downtown Berkeley and Ashby BART stations, and in walkable districts like the Gourmet Ghetto and Elmwood. Berkeley also has strong rent-control and tenant-protection rules, so correct pricing, disclosures and paperwork are essential to a smooth tenancy.
Intempus pairs a local Berkeley expert with in-house technology: an owner portal for real-time statements, online rent collection and a 24/7 maintenance line, so nothing slips through the cracks. Our fees are transparent and itemized, with no hidden costs, and careful tenant screening keeps our eviction rate under 1% on placed tenants, which matters even more in a strong tenant-protection city like Berkeley.

What makes Berkeley a place renters want to call home.
Berkeley neighborhoods each carry their own rental character. Elmwood offers tree-lined streets and a village shopping strip along College Avenue, popular with families and students. North Berkeley, home to the Gourmet Ghetto, draws food lovers, while the areas near UC Berkeley stay in constant demand from students and staff seeking walkable homes.
Berkeley schools add lasting appeal for family renters. The city is served by Berkeley Unified School District, and the presence of UC Berkeley, one of the nation's top public universities, keeps demand strong from students, faculty and staff who want to live close to campus year round.
Among the many things to do in Berkeley, Tilden Regional Park offers a steam train, carousel, botanic garden and miles of trails, while the Greek Theatre and Berkeley Repertory Theatre anchor the arts scene. Living in Berkeley means easy BART access, celebrated restaurants and a walkable culture that keeps tenants happily rooted for years.
