Welcome to Hayward
The third largest city in
Alameda County, Hayward stretches from the wetlands of the Bay to the rolling East Bay hills. Often called the Heart of the Bay, Hayward began as a convenient stopover for early travelers, halfway between San Jose and San Francisco. This prime location still affords easy access to the whole Bay Area along with a temperate climate and a number of varied recreational opportunities.
Hayward residents can get around using the extensive network of freeways and bus lines, two BART stations, an Amtrak station and the
Hayward Executive Airport. The international airports in
Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco are all very convenient as well.
