A top choice for Livermore families and Bay Area commuters

Less than 45 miles from San Francisco in Livermore, the Bay Area's easternmost city, suburban Tempo appeals to families with access to community parks, highly rated schools and a low risk of crime; the CAP Index Crime Score here is 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4. The neighborhood is within a few miles of downtown Livermore and roughly a mile of the local elementary and middle schools. “Everything you need is within about 15 minutes by car or bicycle,” says longtime Livermore resident Ed Jue, a broker associate with Re/Max Accord. Many residents work in Livermore, but Jue says that Tempo's relative affordability and convenience attract commuters from around the Tri-Valley area. “A draw for people who don’t work in the community is the easy access to Highway 84 and Interstate 680, which takes them into Santa Clara and San Jose.”

Most homes in Tempo have 3 or more bedrooms that sit on about half-acre lots.

Midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes on spacious lots

Tempo is known to locals as "the gem streets," as thoroughfares here have names like Turquoise Way, Ruby Road and Diamond Drive. The neighborhood's ranch-style and split-level homes were built between the late 1960s and early '70s; most have attached two-car garages, and three or four bedrooms. “Homes were built with anywhere from 1,300 to 1,800 square feet," Jue says, "but some are larger because homeowners have added on over the years.” Prices range from about $1 million to $1.5 million. According to Jue, while the homes here are older, buyers often consider them more desirable than new builds. “If you head to the east side of Livermore, the homes are newer, but they’re also pricier and the lots are smaller,” he says. “The nice thing about this neighborhood is that the lots are a really good size, usually with anywhere from about 7,500 to 10,000 square feet. The homes aren’t stacked on top of each other, and you have plenty of room between you and your neighbor.”
