Vine Hill is a way into the Bay Area
The neighborhood of Vine Hill gets its name from a time when its hills were flowing fields of grapes, dotted with locally owned wineries. But when the vintners moved north toward Napa Valley – the current wine mecca – they were replaced with accessible housing, outdoor recreation, and award-winning schools. Vine Hill offers value with its sense of community and proximity to the downtown areas of Oakland and San Francisco. “Vine Hill is a way into the Bay Area,” says Joe Reichert, a broker associate with Keller Williams Realty, “The neighborhood has good schools and a good sense of community.”

Vine Hill has a large industrial center by the bay
Vine Hill is a center for oil refineries and industrial plants because of its easy connection to deep water shipping channels in the bay. Marathon Oil and PBF Energy operate major oil refineries along the neighborhood's northern border while water treatment plants and landfills are located to the East and West. The Martinez Refinery has been the subject of environmental concerns due to its growing number of spills and hazardous materials released recently. County officials have met with plant supervisors to outline paths for sustainability moving forward.
Oil companies set up shop in the early 1900's in Martinez and the refinery borders Vine Hill.
