Alameda

Alameda feels like a little island getaway right in the Bay Area. Known for its tree-lined streets, historic Victorian homes, and stunning waterfront views, it’s a peaceful spot that offers a more relaxed pace of life. You’ve got Crown Beach and the incredible shoreline for sunny days by the water, and Park St for shopping, dining out, and fun for the whole family.

Real estate in Alameda is a charming mix of picturesque Victorians, Craftsmans, Tudors, Art-Deco, Mid-Century, Colonial Revivals, bungalows, Mediterranean, waterfront homes, and newer developments. Commuting is pretty simple too, with ferry services straight into San Francisco and several bridges and the Webster/Posey tube to get you on and off the island with ease.

People love Alameda for its tight-knit community and laid-back feel. Families are drawn to the area for its highly rated schools, and the abundance of parks and playgrounds makes it great for kids. Whether you’re exploring the local breweries on the West End or taking a bike ride along the shoreline, life in Alameda just has a certain charm that keeps people coming back.
