Alameda Point turns a storied former naval air station at the western edge of Alameda into an airy waterfront district with room to breathe. Wide-open aprons, bayfront paths, and the Seaplane Lagoon promenade frame knockout views of San Francisco and Oakland. Commuters appreciate quick ferry access via the San Francisco Bay Ferry, while weekends invite paddleboarding along calm lagoon waters, sunset strolls by historic hangars, and dog-friendly meanders with an ocean breeze.
History is hands-on at the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum, where flight decks and Apollo-era exhibits anchor the neighborhood’s aviation legacy. Spirits Alley gives the area its convivial pulse, with tastings at Hangar 1 Distillery and pints on the panoramic patio at Faction Brewing. The monthly Alameda Point Antiques Faire draws treasure hunters to the old runways, and food pop-ups and makers’ markets keep the calendar lively.
Families are served by the Alameda Unified School District, with neighborhood access to Ruby Bridges Elementary, Wood Middle, and Alameda High, plus specialty programs across the district. Ongoing reuse brings new parks, townhomes, and community services, while preserving the cinematic scale and skyward horizons that make the Point feel singular.
