About the Tour

The 2013 AIA East Bay Home Tours features six houses--two each in Oakland, Berkeley and Lafayette. The houses open at 10am and close at 4:30pm. 

In general, tour goers drive their own cars to the houses and find their own parking on nearby streets. However, due to the difficult parking in some neighborhoods, this year's tour does include two houses in Berkeley that are reached only by our shuttle bus, and one house in Lafayette that requires walking half a mile (in a delightful neighborhood). We have arranged for convenient parking lots at the shuttle bus and walking locations, to make things easy and comfortable.
