Neighbourhood
Albany is often described as "an urban village by the Bay." Our location is super safe, friendly, well-connected to Bay Area public transportation (BART & AC Transit), and, most importantly, extremely walkable to an incredible array of unique shops, restaurants, markets, and many other amenities. More info: https://www.510families.com/albany-ca-with-kids/
Solano Avenue is a 2-mile commercial street just one block north from our home with so many great shops and eateries to explore. More info: https://www.solanoavenueassn.org/solano-avenue-directory/
Westbrae is another neighborhood: a much smaller group of shops, restaurants, and services just 2 blocks south of us in the other direction. More info: https://www.lovewestbrae.com/
Across the street from us there is the Ohlone Greenway which has walking and bike paths connecting you to shopping/restaurant areas, BART stations, and our neighboring communities. The OG is great for people-watching and the elevated BART track reminds you that you are so close to San Francisco! More info: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/ohlone-greenway
Other attractions:
Albany Public Library-7 houses away
Memorial Park & Aquatic Center & Public Tennis Courts

People Like Us Local Guide
I could meet members for a drink, invite them to my home for a drink, give local recommendations, or show them around my American elementary school -- I'm a teacher -- (if interested).
