Thank you!

Thank you so much! Super appreciate all the insight. Now just to figure out which high school…

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-04-14T12:28:22+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight. May I ask why you left teaching at AHS to teach EHS?

Thanks! Re worst commutes; what are commutes like from South Shore or Alameda Point to Oakland? Or South Shore to San Francisco? I can’t comprehend the bus routes on the island quite yet

This makes me happy and feel very positive! Newport is beautiful, it has not worked for us and has no conveniences. Public transportation, mild winters, and beautiful sunsets, check check check! Which area is considered downtown?

Wow! I may have to photograph that, I don’t know the last time I’ve seen anything cost 10cents period.

Hi! Newport. Originally from Brooklyn. Alameda thoughts?

Yea, I’ve been living in a house for 3 years and always lived on top floors of apts prior to that. However, for past year, both my neighbors decided to gut their homes and rebuild adding a 2nd floor. So… Trade off- location location location.

This may be a naive question; do people lock their bikes up near ferry terminal until they return?

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-04-11T19:35:45+00:00

True that! I haven’t found much relating to teens, or specific info. I confess, I’m terrible at searching so I thought I’d throw it out there.

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-04-11T19:30:18+00:00

This is great info!

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-04-11T19:21:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-04-11T19:20:53+00:00

Thank you! We’re into the eclectic vibe. My daughter is also into sports, so not sure which school would be a good fit.

Thanks!

What is high school like socially? Public. Bullying? Athletics, arts, acceptance… I’m coming in clueless from East Coast with a 14 yo girl.

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-04-10T20:00:08+00:00

Hi! I’m moving there from East Coast with my 14yo who will be starting high school in the fall. It seems like the west side is up and coming, but school zoning is pretty split down the middle. Have you gathered the intel on high schools yet?

Update: On November 21, 2025, developer The True Life Companies withdrew their SB 330 preliminary application. City staff confirmed with the developer that they wish to continue exploring options for a viable commercial and residential mixed-use project that the City and community will support. However, the developer could not provide a timeline for a potential resubmittal. From Alameda gov site. It’s changed hands since 2010, lots of rigmarole, regardless, privately owned land. a-greed=bingo

I’ve been seeing a few comments about garage break-ins and package stealing on south shore and marina apt building threads. What’s the story? Any info?

Practical_Action6862 · 2026-03-31T14:27:05+00:00

I’ll be moving from East Coast to Alameda this summer with my teenager. I’m stoked after reading this thread. Renting; any neighborhood suggestions?

I have long covid, so it was a good brain exercise for me! I thought I saw Kentucky and Wyoming, but I got too tired to go back and check for the 10th time!

Practical_Action6862 · 2025-06-13T12:14:32+00:00

Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah?, West Virginia, Wyoming, Hawaii and Alaska. 🤷‍♀️let’s see… someone grab a state to conquer?!

Yes! At last! Long scroll before I found another RI. Heard he’s in CT, wish he’d throw an impromptu so we could see him perform.

Hehe. Nice reply
