Jonathan Chester, the author of “Berkeley Rocks – Building With Nature” wrote “Vincente Avenue is particularly rich with rocks, which can be seen beneath, behind, or in front of many homes”. Paths abound in the neighborhood – Visalia Steps, Vincente Walk, El Paseo (the path path) and Indian Trail. The paths provided easy access to the street cars when the Thousand Oaks neighborhood was first developed.
