Berkeley Lake is located off of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard between Norcross and Duluth. The community consists of several subdivisions around a 77-acre private lake.

Berkeley Lake residents are mostly a mix of entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and other professionals. There is also a large number of artists and writers.

The city is known for being an environmentally progressive city, a bird and wildlife sanctuary, and has been named a "Tree City USA" for the past eight years.

The majority of lands in the city limits (the 700-acre Berkeley Lake Properties) was developed by Frank Coggins in the late 1940s. The dam, constructed in 1948, is one of the largest earthen dams in the state. The city's namesake, Lake Berkeley (77 acres), was named after Mr. Coggins' Berkeley Blue Granite Quarries in Elberton, Ga. In 1950 the Berkeley Lake "subdivision," which included five reserved Free Pass and Repass tracts (FPR) and the residential and fishing lots around the lake, was laid out.

For many years, Berkeley Lake was primarily a summer retreat, with an assortment of fishing cottages mingling with a slowly growing number of permanent homes.

In 1953, some 25 property owners met and formed the Lake Berkeley Civic Association. The City Charter was approved by the Georgia General Assembly in 1956.
