      Best Alameda waterfront living!

      I've lived all over Alameda and this was my favorite place to live. Everything accessible via a short walk, but far enough out of the way of South Shore that you don't feel overwhelmed with people and traffic. Building management lives onsite and and isā€¦Ā See More >

            It's not safe here. Management refuses to put up security cameras despite numerous car break-ins, bikes stolen, and vandalism. The reason? It is too expensive and takes too much work. This coming from the company that is rennovating the place, soā€¦Ā See More >
