City life in Berkeley

Which line actually runs on time, where rent is still sane, what's opening on your block. Your city's residents, comparing notes in real time.

Every city has a manual nobody wrote down: which train to trust, which blocks are turning around, where the rent still makes sense. Ask Peachy for the resident-written version and it surfaces as it's posted, like the note from someone who just signed a lease in the exact area you're eyeing.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Show me posts about living in Berkeley: housing, transit, the good blocks.”

“Tell me when something opens or closes in Berkeley.”

“I'm deciding between two sides of town. Surface what locals actually think.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
