Reasons for the strength of the Westside Alamo market
The Westside of Alamo has always been a very desireable place to live because of the quality of the schools, the proximity to open speace, the large lots (most lots are a minimum of 1/2 acre), and the unique warmth that the area offers. Because it is an unincorporated area of Contra Costa county, Alamo utilizes county and Danville services for Fire and Police.
