I love Alameda! It is a small, quaint family town. Everything is literally on the island, so, technically you never have to leave town. The beach is literally in the middle of downtown, and the weather here is nearly perfect all year long. Never too cold or too hot. The people are super friendly, and the locals have been residences of Alameda all of their lives. So, everyone sort of knows everyone!
Locals have long called Alameda, "Mayberry by the Bay." It's changing though. With rising real estate costs, it's hard to imagine how the average family could afford to live here.
Beautiful weather year-round is a lovely perk to living here!

I've loved growing up in Alameda- The schools, the restaurants, the parks, the communities, just about everything. The prices... not so much, but the people! Alameda has its flaws- but so does every other town!
