A diverse community and central transportation hub within Hayward
Tennyson-Alquire is one of Hayward’s most diverse neighborhoods, showcasing a contrasting collection of communities with varied housing options and convenient connections. Centrally located in Hayward, Tennyson-Alquire attracts a wide range of new and longtime homeowners. “The area has a mix of residents, but I think it’s a good community for first-time homebuyers,” says Maggie Ng, a local realtor of 13 years at Legacy Real Estate. “It doesn’t have the most top-rated school district, so it also works for young couples that want to live in an area that’s convenient and who don’t necessarily need to look into schools just yet.” With its location next to an abundance of community parks, authentic multicultural dining and outdoor recreation, the growing Tennyson-Alquire neighborhood still remains an attractive East Bay spot with much to offer.
