“Oak-studded hills and vineyards”

The peak of luxury in Pleasanton, Ruby Hill’s magnificent homes surround a country club and championship golf course designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, all within the heart of the Livermore Valley wine region. “The whole community is surrounded by oak-studded hills and vineyards. These are all luxury homes,” says Doug Buenz, a real estate broker with the 680 Doug Buenz Group. “The neighborhood is for the luxury buyer who wants to live on a golf course.” This gated community is managed by the Ruby Hills Homeowners Association, which actively works to keep the area’s mature greenery and sidewalk-lined streets manicured.

Ruby Hill’s custom and tract homes

Ruby Hill was developed in the 1990s with the construction of large custom-built and tract homes designed in French Country, Minimal Traditional, Spanish and Mediterranean architectural styles. Real estate agents often highlight the size of the homes, which range in size from 2,000 to 10,000 square feet. Buenz says home prices here usually start at about $1.8 million and can go up to about $5 million. That said, select properties are valued at even higher prices, some around $11 million.

Ruby Hill includes exceptional amenities such as a clubhouse, swimming pool, and more.

A-plus for Amador Valley High

Ruby Hill students are served by the well-regarded Pleasanton Unified School District, and each school on their pathway has an A-plus on Niche. The first stop on this academic journey is Vintage Hills Elementary. From there, students can attend Pleasanton Middle before graduating from Amador Valley High. Parents at Amador Valley High and other district schools often volunteer their time to support students, teachers and others in the school community, Buenz says. In addition to its stellar reputation for student outcomes, this high school also emphasizes civic engagement and virtue, as students won the 2022 national title for We The People, an academic competition aimed at improving understanding of democratic republic principles through simulated congressional hearings.

From fairways to Shadow Cliffs Lake

The community’s setting in the far eastern reaches of the East Bay region provides ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. Ruby Hill’s signature 18-hole golf course spans the neighborhood’s gently rolling hills, so players can expect to come across elevation changes, scenic vistas and gorgeous water features.

Anyone looking to connect with nature without worrying about errant golf balls or getting in the way of a game can hike at their leisure around Shadow Cliffs Lake. A 266-acre regional park surrounds much of the lake, which was previously a gravel quarry before the park opened in 1971. Aside from the trails, visitors come here to swim and sunbathe at the beach along part of the shoreline. Anglers also frequent the park to hook bluegill and black bass from small fishing boats.

Wineries and downtowns galore

The Livermore Valley might not be a household name like Napa or Sonoma, but winemakers have been planting grapes and bottling whites and reds here for more than 150 years. Visitors come from all over to visit the area, which has over 50 wineries, including Ruby Hill Winery, located less than a mile beyond the neighborhood’s gates.

While it’s a 35-mile drive or more to reach San Francisco, Oakland or San Jose from Ruby Hill, residents are a short drive from restaurants, boutique stores and convenient chains in Downtown Pleasanton and Livermore. Each town has its own vibrant character, though Livermore is the livelier of the two, with more theaters and nightlife spots. Ruby Hill residents often find themselves going to both places often to enjoy street fairs, summertime concerts, weekend farmers markets and other community events.

Interstate 680
