Get Directions
The west side of the colorful, vibrant island that is Alameda is home to some of the city’s most exciting attractions and stunning surroundings. A large portion of West Alameda is made up of sprawling industrial space and an unused airfield that hosts motor shows and incredible events. West Alameda is also home to the USS Hornet, a historic aircraft carrier that played a part in WWII and the Apollo 11 recovery mission. If you’re looking for fun and enrichment all within a few minutes of San Francisco, look for a rental in West Alameda.
With an even mix of charming, mature homes and tech-laden apartments, West Alameda is mirroring the housing boom that’s occurring just across the bay. There’s plenty of parks to keep residents of the island entertained in the area’s incredible weather. Don’t miss Monarch St., with its wineries, breweries, and trendy restaurants. There’s comprehensive BART service from West Alameda, so popping into San Francisco or Oakland is easy.
