Why Live in San Leandro

San Leandro, California, is an East Bay city just south of Oakland with a diverse mix of housing options and a lively downtown. Ranch-style homes from the postwar era are common throughout the city, while the Farrelly Pond District features smaller early 20th-century homes, and Estudillo Estates is known for its historic homes and tree-lined streets. Bay-O-Vista sits near the East Bay hills on the city's eastern edge, and Heron Bay on the west side mixes contemporary planned-subdivision homes with manufactured housing.

Downtown San Leandro is a pedestrian-friendly hub for farmers markets, block parties and seasonal festivals. Pelton Plaza anchors the dining and shopping scene, with destinations that include Kendejah Restaurant for Liberian cuisine, Ge'ez Market for Ethiopian goods, and Fieldwork Brewing Co.'s beer garden. Nearby Paradiso is a favorite for seasonal California cuisine. Marina Park stretches about 30 acres along the San Leandro Shoreline and includes a fitness trail, picnic areas and a public boat launch.
