Kitayama Elementary, Mixed Housing Options

Alvarado-Almaden spans a triangular area where suburban neighborhoods and a few mobile home communities sit between industrial corridors. Just north, Tom Kitayama Elementary School anchors local youth activities and sports. Toward the south, Cesar Chavez Middle School and the Tropics Mobile Home Park underline the neighborhood’s mix of traditional houses and more affordable housing options. William Cann Neighborhood Park also occupies part of the southern boundary, with open space and playgrounds that families regularly enjoy. Alvarado Niles Road provides a main transit route through the area, although traffic can get heavy at peak times. Residents benefit from relatively quick access to I-880, as well as everyday conveniences located a short drive away. Overall, Alvarado-Almaden balances community-focused amenities—like nearby schools and parks—with practical proximity to Union City’s commercial and industrial hubs.
