With its inviting spaces, convenient location, and thoughtful improvements, this is a home you’ll want to see in person.
Harbor Bay Isle, located between the Oakland Estuary and San Francisco Bay, is a waterfront and planned Alameda neighborhood with lagoon-lined streets and marina views. Mid-century townhomes and contemporary condos sit beside curving paths, small bridges, and pocket greens that shape a calm, coastal rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Harbor Bay Landing shopping center along Island Drive, where cafes, everyday services, and low-key patios cluster near the water. Harbor Bay Club anchors the local routine with tennis courts and fitness facilities. Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal adds a commuter pulse at the edge of the island. Shoreline paths and the lagoons keep the landscape front and center.
