this video should be the blueprint for all ultimate guide videos out here on KZbin. Love how you pointed the area on the map and showed some snippets too. Thanks!

[@jakefromtheblock]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it, and I appreciate the comment!

[@jimfoster405]

Well done Jake! Great content.

[@jakefromtheblock]

Thanks Jim!

[@mcon30]

Great video! I was stationed at the former NAS Alameda Naval Air Station from 1993-1995! It's so built up now, I miss partying on Webster street!

[@jakefromtheblock]

Thank you for your service! Those parties must've been rowdy😅. Theres maybe a little less of that now, unfortunately lol. Thanks for watching.

[@pauli4036]

Jake- I appreciate this info. I used to rent a room from someone in a condo on South Shore and walked to the shopping center frequently to grab a bite. I worked at the 10 major airports of the Northwest US so I loved going to OAK Airport to fly out. I would love to move into Alameda and purchase a home. Your info in breaking down the areas is useful for me as I venture to buy. Thanks again Jake

[@jakefromtheblock]

Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to watch the video! I appreciate it. I'm always here as a resource for you if you need it. I encourage you to watch my in depth neighborhood videos on my Neighborhood spotlight playlist if you're curious about a specific neighborhood. hope to see you around the island!

[@cloutrealestate]

Very Informational! Theres a lot I learned about Alameda watching this.

[@jakefromtheblock]

Thank you!

Alameda is the next hot spot along with Treasure Island. Looking to get a Townhome along the shore over the next yr. After 13 years living in SF.

[@jakefromtheblock]

The real estate is pretty hot already. But yes, it has been having a lot of new construction like treasure island, although the space is almost gone. I have another video touring the model homes by the water, check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWTXf62secyhrKssi=vp3xRgdU44Jc20rx If you ever want to tour them, give me a ring. Thanks for watching, Mark

[@jayohen5918]

I've checked the prices in Alameda and the cost to buy a house there today is just way too high. I know some people that grew up in Alameda that moved out because they couldn't afford to buy a house there.

[@jakefromtheblock]

Yes, like most of the Bay Area prices have skyrocketed. But, there are some affordable areas / types of housing within the island. May not fit everyones needs though.

[@th1s1kat]

Honestly, I wouldn't live in Alameda.. simply because it's next door to Oakland. That's just me.

[@jakefromtheblock]

😅 Have you visited Alameda before? don' knock it until you try it! Oakland can certainly use some cleaning up...

[@th1s1kat]

@@jakefromtheblock I grew up in Oakland. I’ve been going to Southshore center since the 80’s. I used to go to Sizzler’s with my family when it was still there. I took swimming lessons at Emma Hood swim center when i was 11 & 12. I still eat at Toomies Thai restaurant on Park. I am very familiar with Alameda and Oakland.

[@jakefromtheblock]

@@th1s1kat Ahh very cool. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Honesty, you're not from the area and you are ignorant!

[@dannyho6786]

Alameda is like a little Mayberry really !

[@cherylgottshall1496]

I grew up in Alameda. You missed a lot of areas.

[@chuckmarch5552]

My only exposure to Alemeda was not a positive experience. I was installing a new kitchen in a dinky condominium off webster st. I couldnt park in the complex so i had to lug all my equipment and supplies about a quarter mile up to the work site . The management was rude and unreasonable. When i went to lunch i ate at a fast food rest. On Webster. The place was in total dissaray with one person on duty and the tables all cluttered with trash. It was about the most miserable job i did in 4 years at Sears. Also when i went to HD for supplies there was a guy breaking into cars in plain daylight. This was in 2005. Its probably much worse now. I wouldnt live there if you payed me. I hate the bay area. What a crappy place to live.

[@greez847]

These photos aren’t typical of what Alameda really looks like.

[@jakefromtheblock]

What do you mean by that? These photos were taken this past week 😂

[@26155101]

Alright so here’s the deal. The food in Alameda is not anything special. Sure there’s a large amount of restaurants but not one of them really specializes in anything. If you live in a bubble and want to try a different food without stepping further away than 3 miles then this is for you lol.

[@jakefromtheblock]

Haha, that's fair. Decent food, but maybe not to go out of your way for if you're from another town lol. It satisfies me though. Oakland / berk / sf isn't too far to venture for food.

[@greg7404]

One of the reasons the food is mediocre in Alameda is because it's increasingly difficult for anyone to own and operate a small business there - There's unavoidable vandalism and property crime everywhere.

[@papagen00]

Is Alameda overrun by usual suspects wearing hoodies and masks? I lived in Walnut Creek in the 80's and 90's. Would never move back today.

[@jakefromtheblock]

Nope! Good population of retirees, highschoolers roaming, and families out and about!

[@mezcalycafe8702]

We love it when the bigots move away

[@greg7404]

@@jakefromtheblock How about some updated violent crime and property crime stats from the Alameda Police Department? 🤣🤣

[@BMarie-hr2md]

Do you handle rentals?

[@jakefromtheblock]

@@BMarie-hr2md Hello! Its not something that we do often, but I can and have helped some of my clients with rental; especially if your criteria fits a home I already know about. There are some nice new constructions leases on the island as well that I'm happy to give you a tour of. Please send me an email or shoot me a text and we can chat more. [e-mail] 510.846.8619
