Pleasanton
Pleasanton California is
a premier suburban city located in the Tri Valley region of the East
Bay in Northern California. It has built a well-deserved
reputation as one of the most desirable cities to live in the Bay
Area. Pleasanton is a historic railroad town with roots dating
into the 1800’s. Long a prime ranching and agricultural
area, Pleasanton CA was famous for two unique things in years past.
With its rolling grasslands and oak studded hills, it was a preferred
location for early films, especially westerns. It was also
known as a prime hops growing region for years, supplying European
and American breweries with hops for years. Pleasanton today
retains its small town roots, with a vibrant and quaint downtown area
that is the heart of the city. With restaurants, cafes, antique
stores, farmers market, and specialty shops, downtown Pleasanton CA
offers an ideal setting to browse, dine, or simply enjoy a stroll on
a warm summer night.
While Pleasanton has
that special small town charm, it is actually a bustling suburban
California city of over 60,000. It has all of the amenities of
a modern city, with a large regional shopping mall (Stoneridge Mall),
one of the largest business parks in the West (Hacienda Business
Park, home to Oracle, Robert Half, Sun Microsystems, and other
Fortune 500 companies), a BART station (with service to Oakland and
San Francisco), the Alameda County Fairgrounds (home to the annual
fair as well as other events), a huge sports park for youth and adult
sporting events, one of the premier public golf courses in the
country (Callippe Preserve Golf Course) and more.
In terms of housing,
