A family-friendly Hayward neighborhood with East Bay convenience
Within the California East Bay, the Southgate neighborhood of Hayward is known for its pleasant and welcoming suburban landscape near downtown attractions and its convenience to major highways for commuting and traveling to the Peninsula and other Bay Area cities. “Southgate still remains one of those communities where you’ll see people out walking their dogs and children playing in the streets,” says Cristina Bales, a Hayward area realtor at FOHL Realty for over 19 years. With subdivisions full of starter homes and access to tons of green spaces, including naturally sprawling trails and parks, the area is an attractive option for new homeowners wanting to buy into the East Bay market. “People moving in are often families and couples just getting started,” Bales says. “But there are still a lot of homeowners who have been living in the neighborhood for a very long time, so it’s established.”
