The Bay area’s peaceful suburbia
Pleasanton is an upscale Alameda County community with chic suburban neighborhoods and friendly faces. This unique community is filled with established households and young professionals who take advantage of all the job opportunities just a short commute away. Pleasanton provides a quiet and peaceful living experience that has been highly rated as one of the top 15 places to live in the San Francisco Bay area.
By working to maintain its dense suburban structure, Pleasanton has cultivated a town that offers a lot of top-tier family-oriented amenities. Between the number of great places, things to do, and schools to pick from, it makes an excellent home for young professionals and established families alike. With the short commute to an abundance of career opportunities as a Tri-Valley community, it's no wonder why Pleasonton is a California favorite.
Pleasanton’s location is part of what lends itself to being an excellent spot for various people. You’re never far from the outdoors, with Castleridge Trailhead at Pleasonton Ridge Regional Park just a short drive away. Larger cities like San Francisco and Sacramento allow you to move at a busier pace if that’s more your speed. California's public transportation options make it easy to access whatever experience you may be looking for. Shop from locally sourced produce and staples, or treat yourself to the convenience of larger supercenters. Life in Pleasanton can be just how you like it.
Focusing on providing an amenity-heavy community for families, Pleasanton makes it easy to access all the things you may need. Head Downtown for a one-stop-shop where you can grab a bite to eat, drive through Meadowlark Dairy for locally produced ice cream and dairy products, get your yearly cleaning at the dentist, and stop in one of the boutiques along the way. Many streets are full of shops and services, lined side by side so you can conveniently walk from one errand to the next.
While Pleasanton prides itself on its calm, relaxing atmosphere, its food scene is anything but quiet. One unique local favorite is The Press, an artisan cafe that took the notion that we are what we eat and turned it into a dining experience focused on highlighting the freshest ingredients and flavors the local area offers. Nonni’s Bistro takes experience from all over the world and brings it to this California suburb with a menu handcrafted by a chef who perfected his trade through cooking his way around the globe. Lokanta Grill and Bar is another local gem with an international flair that offers a Mediterranean coast taste.
Pleasanton offers plenty to do right within its town limits. Downtown is a great venue and hosts many things like the Pleasanton Farmers' Market, annual festivals, and parades.
The Alameda County Fairgrounds was initially built around the Pleasanton Race Track, the oldest, one-mile dirt track in America, and has grown to become a bustling hub for over 300 annual events. Some of these events include the Scottish Highland Games, Goodguys Car Show, and the Annual County Fair. Places like Castlewood Golf Course and Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park are just two of Pleasanton’s many ways you can spend the 250+ days of gorgeous California weather a year.
