THE COUNTY
Alameda County is the geographic center of the San Francisco Bay Area, located on the east side of the Bay across from the San Francisco peninsula. Commonly referred to as the “Bright side of the Bay or East Bay,” the region has been the fastest growing in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than two decades. The East Bay is popular because of its desirable location, incredible diversity, ideal climate, broad economic base, plus its range of available housing and business opportunities.
The County itself is one of the most diverse regions in the country. Alameda County offers a rich array of cultural activities, including the Oakland Museum and the Oakland East Bay Symphony. The region is home to three professional sports teams: the Oakland A’s, Oakland Raiders, and the Golden State Warriors. The wine country of the inland Tri-Valley area, the Chabot Space and Science Center, and outstanding outdoor recreational facilities bring additional opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and education. The University of California, Berkeley and California State University, East Bay are just two of the distinguished academic institutions serving Northern California. Nestled next to the Silicon Valley, Alameda County is home to many start-up and global technology companies. Urban transportation options such as the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system, and the San Francisco Bay ferry system are easily accessible.
