Neighborhood
Alameda
Alameda was once a peninsula;connected to the Oakland docks. In 1902, a canal was dredged to enable easier shipping access, and that turned Alameda into an island. A little off the beaten track, Alameda has a laid-back vibe all its own. Despite its;80,000 residents, there's still a small-town feeling in Alameda.;
A 4th of July Parade, complete with horse-drawn carriages, embodies the small-town feel in Alameda, which has preserved much of its Victorian housing stock, cottages, and central, walkable shopping district along Park Street. The Alameda Theater on Park Street was;restored to its art deco glory. Civic pride runs high here; formerly;the;Carnegie Library, the Alameda Free Library was transformed into a multimillion-dollar showplace that earned a Silver LEED certification. Kids play soccer on former parade grounds of the converted army barracks. Crown Memorial State Beach and Shoreline Drive attract wind surfers.;
With more than 10,000 buildings constructed before 1930, there is a rich and varied architectural heritage in the area playing a role in;Alameda's;real estate market conditions. Historic Queen Anne's, more than 1,500 ornately decorated Victorians, and California Craftsmans;are some of the most desirable homes here;along its tree-lined streets.
