Two turnkey units with modern finishes throughout.
Here's your opportunity to break into Alameda's East End market with a completely updated duplex that delivers serious value. 3241 Briggs Avenue offers everything savvy investors and buyers want: turn-key condition, strong rental potential, and that coveted East End location, all at a price point that actually makes sense.
Both units were just fully renovated. Fresh exterior paint sets the tone, while inside you'll find brand-new kitchens, updated bathrooms, and modern fixtures throughout. This is move-in ready for tenants or family members from day one.
Unit A gives you two-story living with practical features that tenants appreciate. Hardwood floors flow through each room, creating warmth and continuity. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops that look great and actually last, clean white cabinets, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. Two bedrooms upstairs provide private retreats, and the wood-burning fireplace downstairs creates that cozy California atmosphere everyone loves.
Unit B presents single-level living, which opens your tenant pool significantly. Downsizers, those with mobility considerations, and people who just prefer everything on one floor will appreciate this layout. The kitchen matches Unit A's fresh aesthetic with the same white quartz counters, white cabinets, and new stainless appliances. The wood-burning fireplace adds character and warmth.
The 3,614 square foot lot has a unique trapezoid shape that creates interesting possibilities. The front area offers space to create individual yard areas for each unit, adding privacy and outdoor appeal through thoughtful landscaping.
Let's talk about what makes this a smart investment at this price point. You're getting the same top quality updates as much pricier East End properties, the same desirable location two blocks from Lincoln Park, and the same strong rental market. What you're not getting is unnecessary extras that drive up the price without increasing your returns. This is efficient, well-executed investment real estate.
The location delivers everything that makes the East End special. Two blocks from Lincoln Park means baseball fields, pickleball courts, and community pool access. Twelve years of top-rated schools nearby make this attractive to family tenants. The golf course, South Shore Shopping Center, Oakland Airport, and ferry to San Francisco keep urban conveniences accessible while maintaining that relaxed island lifestyle Alameda is known for.
The neighbors throw an annual block party together - real community, not just people who live near each other.
Who benefits most from this property? First-time investors who want quality but need a realistic entry price. Buyers looking to live in one unit while building equity through the other. Downsizers who want single-level living (Unit B) plus investment income. Families seeking multigenerational living with true independence between units. All of these scenarios work beautifully here.
The combination of complete updates, strong East End location, flexible living configurations, and smart pricing creates an opportunity that's increasingly rare in today's market. You get Alameda's coveted lifestyle and proven rental demand without overpaying for square footage you don't need.
This is how you build wealth in Bay Area real estate: buy quality in a proven location at a price that leaves room for appreciation and strong rental returns from day one.

Completely remodeled duplex in Alameda's sought-after East End.
East End lifestyle with Lincoln Park two blocks away.
Alameda began as a peninsula just south of Oakland and is now an East Bay island with a laid-back feeling all its own. You will find a variety of homes and condos for sale in Alameda including cozy apartments, spacious single family homes that have been fully renovated, and gorgeous luxury mansions where no expense was spared. With more than 10,000 buildings constructed before 1930, there is a rich and varied architectural heritage in the area playing a role in Alameda's real estate market conditions. Historic Queen Anne's, more than 1,500 ornately decorated Victorians, and California Craftsmans are some of the most desirable homes here along its tree-lined streets.
When locals want to explore the various shopping, landmarks, museums, and dining, they usually head to Park Street. You may want to start your day with a visit to the Alameda Museum. Since 1948, the museum has preserved the rich history of this unique island city and offers both locals and tourists an opportunity to learn more about the great island of Alameda.
Civic pride runs high in Alameda, and many of the city’s older buildings have been fully restored or repurposed. The Alameda Theater on Park Street was restored to its art deco glory, while the Alameda Free Library was transformed from the Carnegie Library into a multimillion-dollar showplace that earned a Silver LEED certification. Alameda is also a great place for outdoor activities. The Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach is the perfect place for wind-surfing and taking a morning run near the beach.
Alameda is a great place to live if you love a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of festivals and activities to enjoy. Popular events and festivals in Downtown include a Spring Festival in May and a Classic Car Show in October. No matter the time of year, there is always something fun happening in Alameda.
