Alvarado Industrial West is your very average typical cluster of houses, schools, restaurants and shopping centers that make up a very normal neighborhood atmosphere. If you drive through Union City Blvd you will see people walking around and frequenting cafe's and such. The residential streets are somewhat quiet. This neighborhood is relatively new and strays to set itself off from the Old Alvarado Industrial area. There are plenty of newly retailed businesses that have been set up almost just to prove that point. I think this area would probably be more business than residential. There are plenty of workers in this area and that is quite visible when rush hour hits because you are either caught in traffic or trying to avoid people that are suddenly taking to the streets. In my opinion the Northern Part of Alvarado has to many factories. I don't care for things that destroy the environment and Alvarado Industrial West is lacking in the green department.
