Throughout the past year, Downtown Hayward has welcomed a significant amount of new residents with the opening and renovation of several apartment communities. Bellara Living, Pimentel Place and new management at Ivy Park have brought many new neighbors to the area, creating a stronger residential foundation.
More people living in the heart of Hayward means more foot traffic for local shops and restaurants, a stronger sense of community and greater support for the ongoing improvements that make the district more enjoyable for everyone.
Streets designed for people
The city of Hayward’s efforts to reimagine downtown are making the area safer and more inviting for pedestrians. Recent infrastructure improvements include lane reductions designed to slow traffic and create a more walkable environment.
Vibrant new murals can be found downtown that celebrate the community’s culture and creativity. Looking ahead to spring, the city has also introduced new barrel planters that will bring color and greenery to sidewalks, further enhancing the pedestrian experience.
New businesses join the neighborhood
As Downtown Hayward expands, new businesses are stepping in to serve the growing population. Kora Pilates offers a space for residents to improve their health and well-being. Meanwhile, Poppy Bank adds essential financial services in the heart of downtown.
Signature Salon Suites has suites available for licensed beauty professionals. With fully equipped suites, 24/7 access and included amenities, it’s an ideal opportunity for entrepreneurial cosmetologists to build their businesses in Downtown Hayward.
