This East Bay area’s nostalgic town center and vibrant community live up to the city’s cheerful name. “The key to any good downtown is its walkability.” With sidewalks framing every block, Downtown Pleasanton locals can easily take a stroll or bike ride along the tree-lined streets to enjoy a dinner out or spend an afternoon lounging at the park, minutes away from home.

Queen Annes, farmhouses, midcentury California-style bungalows and ranch homes line the streets branching off the main corridor, mixed with a wide selection of newer homes built to fit in with the community’s established character.
