Information about Hayward

Hayward, California, known as the Heart of the Bay, has drawn both visitors and rental apartment hunters for years, offering some of the best weather in the country and all the convenient, fun amenities of a small city.

Hayward originally drew settlers to the region with its temperate climate and fertile agriculture, and while apartment renters won't find many crops growing in the city anymore, they will be able to experience the natural beauty that has always been Hayward's trademark. At the Hayward Regional Shoreline, apartment renters can escape their busy schedules and explore 1,713 acres of salt marshes, wetlands and the trails that wind through them. Hayward Marsh, for instance, is a 145 acre tidal marsh that has 15 islands. Apartment renters who enjoy bird watching can stand from the trail and watch for native Bay area birds nesting on the picturesque islands.

Downtown Hayward, too, offers local apartment dwellers plenty of shopping, entertainment and dining. A local favorite is Neumanali, an intimate bistro whose walls are covered with large, abstract paintings and which has an outdoor dining area surrounded by a garden and adobe walls. Diners can split small plates with one another, nibbling on dishes like spicy Cajun shrimp and wild mushrooms on bruschetta. The kitchen takes advantage of the close proximity of fresh fish, creating entrees like roasted salmon with whipped potatoes and leaks, or pan-fired trout with brown butter and cauliflower.
