Harbor Bay/Bay Farm offers skyline views and ferry access
Claim a slice of bayside real estate with a home in Harbor Bay/Bay Farm. This section of Alameda County is notable in part for its selection of properties right along the San Francisco Bay shoreline and its proximity to the San Francisco Bay Ferry. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound here, too. “There are cycling and walking trails,” says local Realtor Guy Blume of The Guy Blume Team. “It has close proximity to Oakland International Airport and direct views of the San Francisco Bay and the San Francisco skyline.”
Modern Traditional homes line walkable residential blocks
Most of the single-family homes in Harbor Bay/Bay Farm are modern, built after 1980. The average home in the area has three bedrooms, Blume says, and most are somewhere around 2,000 square feet. The houses have mostly Traditional- and contemporary-style options, in single and multistory layouts. Harbor Bay/Bay Farm homes fill well-manicured lots that range from about 2,600 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet. Sidewalks line every block in the neighborhood, providing an element of walkability. Single-family houses have price tags that start at roughly $1 million and can climb to more than $2 million. Townhouses and condos supplement the inventory of single-family homes, with prices that start at around $800,000.
Neighborhood parks and golf courses support an active lifestyle
Harbor Bay/Bay Farm residents take advantage of the area’s walkability. It’s common to see people out and about, enjoying fresh air. “It’s an active community,” Blume says. The neighborhood features multiple parks. The 4-acre Tillman Park is among the options, a space woven into the web of homes here, with a playground, multiple athletic fields and basketball courts. Leydecker Park is a bigger option, at almost 6 acres, and features tennis courts in addition to a playground, fields and basketball courts. Shoreline Park is a spot to enjoy time by the water, with plenty of open, grassy space perfect for a picnic. Golfers will love the neighborhood's proximity to the public Corica Park, whose 18-hole South Course was named one of the top municipal courses in the country by GOLF Magazine in 2021. Corica Park also has a North Course undergoing renovation and a nine-hole par 3 course.
A-rated Alameda public schools serve the community
Blume says that some move to Harbor Bay/Bay Farm for the schools. Students here can enter the Alameda Unified School District, which carries an A overall rating on Niche. Students can start at either Bay Farm School K-8 or Earhart Elementary, depending on where they live. Bay Farm School features an Outdoor Learning Center that facilitates weekly garden classes for those in kindergarten through fifth grade and hosts a weekly lunchtime club for middle school students. Earhart Elementary, which has kindergarten through fifth grade, offers an afterschool enrichment program with the help of the PTA. Both Bay Farm and Earhart have A grades on Niche. From Earhart, students can move on to the A-rated Lincoln Middle, whose extracurricular opportunities include a range of lunch clubs, from a games club to a science and engineering club. Students can then advance to the A-plus-rated Alameda High for grades nine to 12, which has a career technical education department with programs in biotechnology, computer science, digital filmmaking, multimedia and sports medicine.
