The Capri hits different. Just moments from the sand, this single-level ground-floor retreat captures the kind of effortless coastal living people move to Alameda hoping to find. The energy is easy here. Sliding glass doors stay open longer. Morning coffee turns into afternoons on one of two private patios overlooking the pool. Evening walks along Shoreline become part of the routine. The ocean breeze finds its way through the living room, and suddenly home feels a little lighter. Inside, the one-bedroom, one-bath layout feels clean, open, and quietly refined, with a flow that feels natural from the moment you walk in. The indoor-outdoor connection is seamless, creating that relaxed California feel designers spend entire careers trying to recreate. Direct pool access, assigned garage parking, additional storage, and a professionally managed HOA add convenience without taking away from the simplicity of the experience. But what truly sets Capri apart is the lifestyle. Quiet, coastal, and deeply loved by those who know it well, this community has a way of making everyday life feel elevated. South Shore Center is just around the corner for coffee, dinner, and the kind of errands that somehow feel better near the beach. Park Street and Webster bring the charm, while waterfront paths, the SF Ferry, BART, and AC Transit keep everything effortlessly connected. 1825 Shoreline Dr #108 has that rare combination of coastal calm and everyday convenience.
