Berkeley's distance from Wollongong and vast space at the time identified it as an attractive option to new families and today much of the farmland is occupied by housing estates marketed as Regency Heights.

The suburb is home to a small shopping precinct that contains a supermarket, petrol station, pub, post office, community swimming pool, medical centre and other specialty stores/services.

The Easts Group owns and operates the local Berkeley Sports and Social Club located just outside the shopping precinct.

Fred Finch Park is home to baseball fields and both indoor and outdoor basketball courts, acting as a hub for sports in the local area.
