Zip 94501 covers most of Alameda Island, where breezy bay weather, sandy shoreline, and tree-lined historic districts create a relaxed, small-town feel minutes from Oakland and San Francisco. Park Street and Webster Street anchor daily life with indie coffee spots like Julie's and Wescafe, the restored Alameda Theatre & Cineplex, and a dining scene that runs from tiki classics at Forbidden Island to waterfront breweries at Faction and Almanac. Weekend staples include beach walks along Crown Memorial State Beach, paddleboarding and sailing on the estuary, biking the Cross Alameda Trail, and romps at Washington Park's dog area and Jean Sweeney Open Space. Shopping is easy at South Shore Center and Alameda Landing (with Safeway, Trader Joe's, Target), plus gyms like Bladium and boutique studios. The ferry, AC Transit, and nearby tubes make it commuter friendly. According to Zillow Market Trends, recent months show a median asking rent around $3,100, with typical listings ranging roughly $2,400–$4,500. The area skews family- and pet-friendly, with a lively arts calendar at Rhythmix Cultural Works and a weekly farmers' market.
