167 Purcell AlamedaLiterally across the street are Amelia Earhart Elementary school and the Harbor Bay Club.

A friend who lives in Oakland joined the Harbor Bay Club and had this rave to share;

I’m a member of Harbor Bay Club and drive there to take classes 3-6 times a week. I often spend the day there parked by the water working in my remote [van life] office. I love it there and people who go there or work there have been there 20-30 years.
Lots of the people who come to the club are from the local community and walk there which is a huge advantage. The pool is 82 degrees. While you’re there you should take a tour of the place. Whirlpool, sauna, steam room or just lounge by the pool. Like a mini vacation.
We met a teacher who has lived in the Brittany Landing community for many years and loves it. She walks across the street for work!
It is very rare for houses to come up for sale in this gated community because it is just so livable.

See how this refreshed Alameda home on a cul-de-sac checks the boxes for comfortable, indoor-outdoor living.
