Apartments for Rent in Alameda, CA

People know Alameda for being an island that offers well-maintained residences, numerous amenities, and is easily accessible to San Francisco. Before the area became an island, it was connected to the Oakland Peninsula. The island took shape when shipping facilities dredged a canal through the marshland.

Not only is it located on Alameda Island, Alameda also encompasses a part of Bay Farm Island (which really isn’t an island at all). Proximity to the Bay affords residents wind surfing and kite-flying opportunities at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach. At the beach, you’ll also enjoy gorgeous views of the San Francisco skyline!

The city is recognized for its pristine Victorian houses and is home to many employers from the Oakland Raiders to a popular outerwear company. Spirits Alley is a local hot spot in the community, a street lined with wineries, distilleries, and breweries.

Students of Alameda are served by a great school district, and you’re just a short drive from the Oakland Airport. Locals look forward to grabbing brunch on Park Street and the annual July 4th parade – the second oldest in the nation!
