Is there much crime in/on Alameda? The prices look great, so unless there is some major draw back, I would probably go there. After looking at it, I could take the ferry or BART from Alameda right to where I would work within 40 minutes which is fine for me.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction!
- andymoe 12y agoNah, not compared to Oakland or SF. It is starting to get more developed but still a bit sleepy. Park street has become pretty built up. Less going on near the webster side but closer to West Oakland BART (any train to SF) and a little bit cheaper probably.
- giaour 12y agoThe major drawback is access. On the west side of Alameda, where I rented a 2BR house for a little under $1500/month, has a ferry terminal and a cramped tunnel. Great if you have a car, want to take the ferry into SF every day, or don't mind the bus. I worked in downtown Oakland and most of my coworkers lived in west Alameda. The east side has a few well-maintained, very bike-friendly bridges, but they lead to the East Oakland.
