The Crowden Music Center is located at 1475 Rose Street, Berkeley, CA,94702.  The entrance on Rose Street is a few feet west of Sacramento Street.

The campus is less than half a mile from the North Berkeley BART station, and less than quarter of a mile away from the Monterey Market and its neighboring cafes.

Highway access is excellent, and though the parking lot is reserved for faculty and staff, there is ample street parking in the area.
