Store Your Luggage in Berkeley

Although Berkeley is a mid-sized city, its reputation precedes itself: It’s known far and wide for its progressive politics and celebrated history of social justice. Berkeley has the advantage of being a homegrown college town with quick, easy access to the urban oasis of San Francisco. Students, locals, and visitors don’t have to leave the city, however, to enjoy cultural and culinary delights. If you wish to temporarily store your bags in Berkeley, Bounce is here to help.

Safety

Berkeley, California, takes its name from George Berkeley, an 18th century Irish Bishop and philosopher. Sandwiched between Emeryville and Oakland, Berkeley is famous for its numerous museums as well as the University of California, Berkeley. As of 2020, the “Athens of the West” has a population size of more than 120, 000 citizens. Some of Berkeley’s most well-known sons and daughters are actor Ben Affleck, musician Peter Buck, dancer Rita Moreno, writer Joanna Macy, and actress Whoopi Goldberg. 

No matter who you are or what you’re into, Berkeley has something for everyone. If you’re planning on visiting, however, you should probably be aware of the city’s crime stats. Berkeley holds a score of 3 out of 100 on the National Crime Index. Cities that score closer to 100 on the Index report much less criminal activity than cities closer to 1. Out of a population size of 121,643 Berkeleyans, 1 in 188 citizens report violent crimes each year. Conversely, 1 in 19 residents report property related crimes. Berkeley is ultimately a great place to visit, provided that you put safety first at all times. Secure your excess luggage with Bounce, and contact local authorities when it’s appropriate to do so.
