Welcome to Alameda, an island city in the San Francisco Bay Area where coastal living meets historic charm. Located just east of San Francisco, this waterfront community features tree-lined streets, preserved Victorian architecture, and a walkable downtown district. Park Street serves as the downtown hub, home to the restored 1932 Alameda Theatre and numerous independent businesses. Crown Memorial State Beach stretches along the southern shore, providing 2.5 miles of sandy beach for outdoor recreation. Housing options span from preserved Victorian homes to contemporary waterfront residences, with rental rates averaging $2,341 for one-bedroom apartments and $2,845 for two-bedrooms, reflecting a 1.5% decrease.
Alameda Point, formerly the Naval Air Station, has evolved into a recreational destination featuring Spirits Alley, where local craft beverage makers operate in converted hangars overlooking the San Francisco skyline.
