West End, Alameda

West End Alameda is not the best neighborhood in Alameda. However, it's still Alameda, and much better than the neighboring towns of Oakland, San Leadro, etc. When compared to the east end alameda, the houses are smaller and cheaper, schools are not as good, and crime is higher. There are less smaller parks scattered across the west end. There is Washington park, a large park by the bay, with plenty of picnic areas and tennis courts and a dog walking park. There is fantastic Chinese food in the west end on Webster street. There are two dimsum restaurants that are always fantastic. So be sure to show up early on the weekends or be prepared to stand in line. There are also new houses in the area as well. Bayport development community is absolutely stellar, with some of the best new house communities in all of the SF Bay area.

This is a great place to live, and its affordable too! The houses here looks new and they are big, mostly one story houses. It's a great place for singles and retirees to live. The streets are wide and clean, and there is a lot of green in this neighborhood too; with two big parks in this area, and one of them is Washington Park. It's a nice place to take a walk in or walk your dog on a sunny afternoon.
However, there are two downsides to living here. One, is that there isn't really any big malls or shopping centers to go to for shopping, and two is that the Bart don't pass through here, so traveling to and from the bay area is a bit troublesome.
