What To Expect

Sunshine and historical architecture define this little island on the San Francisco Bay.

With a picturesque downtown, Alameda’s allure comes from its many pre-1930s homes and buildings lining leafy streets. You won’t find too much nightlife here, but instead, you’ll find lots of community events and plenty of open space.

The Lifestyle

Laid back with small-town vibes so strong, it’s easy to forget you’re so close to two major metropoles.

Alameda is casual and family-friendly, and when you’re stretched out on the state beach, taking in views of San Francisco in the distance, you’ll feel as far from urban busyness as possible. This little island is ideal for anyone who wants to get to know their neighbors.

Unexpected Appeal

Proximity to the city for those who need it but enough space for a backyard barbeque.

While it may not have it have a non-stop nightlife scene, Alameda is close to the Bay Area’s major cities, and it’s also home to its own Spirits Alley, an old naval base where breweries, wineries, distilleries and food trucks have taken up shop in massive hangers with unbeatable city views.

The Market

Alameda has a plethora of historical options, from quaint single-family cottages to gorgeous Victorians.

Alameda’s small-town charm is growing in popularity, and with its cottages, beautiful Victorians and other classic homes on quiet streets, it’s easy to see why. With the median home price approaching $1 million, this island’s reputation is catching on.
