Alameda--a Spanish name chosen by popular vote in 1853, meaning "grove of poplar trees"--is part of a former Spanish land grant stretching from San Leandro to Berkeley. If you are looking to buy a home in Alameda, you will find that the city has a much more "buttoned-down" feel than the surrounding areas of San Francisco and Oakland. This relaxed atmosphere is a nod towards its days as a Navy base and resort town, and it is a refreshing change.
For the most part, Alameda is an island between San Francisco and Oakland, and it's connected to the rest of the Bay Area by the Bay Bridge and ferries. Don't be deceived by Alameda's seemingly unpolished appearance, as Alameda is an up-and-coming city with a relaxing and calm quality that is welcome in an area with three major cities. Perspective home buyers in Alameda will be pleased to learn that local schools are also very good.
According to Yahoo!'s school report, students in Alameda enjoy a student to teacher ratio of 1:20, a high school graduation rate of 98%, and 93% of high school graduates go on to higher education. Alameda is an attractive option for those looking to buy a home in the Bay Area, affording citizens the close proximity of big city life with the relaxed environment of a small town.
