A growing neighborhood
While the neighborhood is called “downtown” Union City, this may be a bit misleading. According to Carmela Campbell, Union City’s Director of Economic & Community Development, the neighborhood feels more small-town than urban. “There’s a sense of community here. We have folks who have lived here a long time, and kids here often go away to college and come back,” Campbell says. She also talks about the city government’s plans to modernize the area, from infrastructure to public transit. “We’re really focused on reinventing suburbia. For example, we’re trying to get people out of their cars and provide more robust transportation modes,” she adds. As the neighborhood grows, its amenities continue to remain convenient and exciting. With a global palette of restaurants, several parks for hiking and a central location between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, downtown Union City residents don’t have to travel too far to find what they need for an everyday lifestyle.
Downtown Union City lies along the hillsides, situated centrally within the greater bay area.
