Alameda's 94502 Zip Code is for Harbor Bay and Bay Farm Island — a separate island south of the main island of Alameda (Zip Code 94501). It is part of the city of Alameda, and is the location of the many subdivisions of the Harbor Bay Development. For a small island, there is a lot going on in Bay Farm Island. There is a very popular townhome complex on the western end of the island, and many of the earlier homes still remain in pleasant neighborhoods on the southern side.
Closer to Alameda is the Harbor Bay Development — single-family and townhome complexes developed into individual neighborhoods, each with handsomely designed homes. The theme throughout is light and airy: trees, gardens, and patios that welcome the outdoors in. Many of these homes have dramatic San Francisco Bay views or quiet water views of the lagoons created throughout the area.
Everything is handy in 94502. The cozy Harbor Bay Shopping Center is nearby, but if serious shopping is on your agenda, the South Shore Shopping Center is an excellent resource, as is downtown Alameda with its small shops, restaurants, and unique stores.
