Shopping, business, boats, and condos – welcome to Alameda’s Marina Village
Alameda’s Marina Village neighborhood is located on the northwest section of the main island of Alameda, just east of Webster St. and southeast of the Webster/Posey Tube. Marina Village Parkway and Atlantic Ave. are the main streets in the area.

Here you will also find banking, cleaners, a salon, fitness center, insurance, a dollar store, UPS, a paint store, a tire shop, a veterinarian, IT services, optometrists and dentists. Feeling hungry? You have a lot of choices, from sandwiches to Vietnamese; sushi to burritos.
With over 200 acres, 30 buildings, and 1+ million rentable square feet, Marina Village is a premier office and tech campus as well. Home to The Research Park at Marina Village, it is considered “the fastest growing Life Sciences cluster in the Bay Area” with over 40 Life Sciences and Research tenants.
Marina Village is a community of 178 homes located adjacent to the Shoreline Park (not to be confused with Shore Line Park in Bay Farm). Shoreline Park runs between the lagoon and the Marina Village Marina. The park has walking trails and benches, and is open from 6 am-10pm. Fresh water lagoons are found alongside most of the homes here. Read more on the

On Atlantic Ave. you will find Jean Sweeney Open Space Park. Bordered by Constitution Way, Atlantic Avenue and Sherman Street, the open space park is located on the former Alameda Beltline Railroad property.

The park features walking trails with benches, a picnic area, outdoor pavilion, and a playground with a zipline for kids.
There are two hotels in the area. Extended Stay America, near the Webster/Posey Tube, and Marina Village Inn, located east of Shoreline Park.
The Main Street Ferry terminal is nearby, on the far northwest side of the island, and is a hub for commuters and city visitors. The trip to San Francisco is approximately 20 minutes. There are two parking lots and a dog park adjacent to the terminal. Marina Village is located right next to the Webster/Posey Tube, so access to the I-880 freeway is very convenient, and Oakland is literally a few minutes away.
Marina Village is a rapidly changing area of Alameda found east of Alameda Landing, on the north side of the main island. The shopping center and business park are ever changing and expanding, with new businesses and companies coming to the area. Panomar is a large apartment complex in the area, condominiums line the lagoons, and the “California” subdivision features newer, large homes.
