Neighborhood Description The Alameda Gold Coast has old world charm that is hard to find with its wide streets, large mature trees and unique older homes. The neighborhood is loosely defined as the area bounded by Grand Street, Otis Drive, and Central Avenue in Alameda. Although it once was on the coast of the island / city during the mid to late 19th century, by mid-20th century development changed the island and land was reclaimed from San Francisco Bay west of Otis Drive. Now the former coast-side homes sit on lagoons, but the "gold" in Gold Coast remains a sparkling example of grand and historic architecture. Many of the homes are listed on the Alameda Historical Preservation website. Some shining examples of classic architectural styles found in this golden neighborhood are Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Tudor Revival and Queen Anne Cottage. These magnificent examples of amazing architecture sparingly come on the market for all to see.
