Keeping You Current with the Alameda Market


Hello Friends!

I have the unique privilege of talking about our Island often: to sing its praises to those who want to know why my family has chosen to settle here or why someone should consider Alameda their new town. I tell them that there is a vibe here like no other place. This is a town where my family and I can take a bike ride to visit the many breathtaking murals (like the one above located at Lincoln/Webster), grab a Santoro’s Italian Combo Sandwich and ride to Crab Cove to picnic by the Bay. Best (and most important) of all, the people we encounter are welcoming and kind.

The last 2 years have been unpredictable and stressful, and while my family is still cautiously re-emerging from our COVID cocoon, it’s my fellow Alamedans who have gotten us through. It’s no wonder why so many people are looking to make Alameda their permanent home.

Keeping You Current with the Alameda Market


Dear Friends,

I love this Island! I know I am clearly biased as a long time resident of Alameda, but I continue to be enamored by this community. From walks on Crown Beach to admire the Birds in their Sanctuary, browsing at books with my girls at Books Inc. on Park Street to meeting a friend at Signal Coffee on Webster for the amazing coffee and their killer breakfast sandwiches – there is just so much to see and do here.

The same is true with the variety of properties here. We’ve got Floating Homes (pictured above), Victorians, Craftsman, Mid Century and new developments. I went to go visit the new homes out in the new Pulte development just beyond Target on the West End. Adjacent to the new Waterfront park, this development is rather impressive. The latest finishes, solar, and super tall ceilings. Let me know if you want to schedule a tour to see the area and what it has to offer. I heard there might be water taxis from the park to Jack London Square. Thinking about taking a water taxi to Farmhouse Thai right now…
