Why Live in Pleasanton? A Look at the Pleasanton Community
Pleasanton Schools
As Pleasanton Realtors, we know nothing is more important than your kids. If they are school age then one of the first things you look for in a city to move to is great schools. Pleasanton schools score among the top of all schools in the nation. Amador High School and Foothill High School were named ‘Nation’s Best High Schools’. With a 2008 API score just under 900 for the district and the highest scoring Pleasanton school at 959, Pleasanton API scores are among the highest in the area.
580 / 680 Commute
Probably second on criteria for people looking at homes for sale in Pleasanton is commute. Traffic is a huge concern in and around Pleasanton, from the Stoneridge Extension to Highway 84. Construction is underway to build an 11-mile carpool lane on EB I-580 which is the second most congested freeway in the Bay Area. Also SB I-680 HOT lane project is underway with a 2010 completion date. The El Charro interchange is also under construction to improve traffic movement at the North East corner of Pleasanton where the Staples Ranch development will be.
Downtown Pleasanton
Walkability is huge for Pleasanton home buyers that like to go out. Downtown Pleasanton is surrounded by some of the most beautiful homes in the Tri Valley and with events like Concerts in the Park, First Wednesday Street Party, Pleasanton Farmer’s Market and great restaurants like Haps, Bocci, and Barone’s – Downtown Pleasanton has the culture, entertainment and ‘hang out’ spots every great Downtown needs. Downtown Pleasanton homes only add to this charm and artistry the soon to be opened Pleasanton Firehouse Arts Center will bring. With a history over 100 years, Downtown Pleasanton has the charm, variety of restaurants and night life Downtown Livermore, Downtown Danville are both seeking to achieve.
Pleasanton Master Planned Community
For many years Pleasanton was know as ‘The City of Planned Progress’ from our 43 neighborhoods, regional and community parks, pedestrian friendly downtown and balance of business and residential, we have come a long way from being the ‘Most Desperate Town in the West’. The fact that Pleasanton has a master plan gives the city direction on growth and gives charm, stability and a greater community feel. A far better model than the ‘whatever’ zoning of some cities. On May 13, 2009 the Planning Commission held a public hearing as part of the 2005-2025 proposed General Plan.
The Jensen/Amador neighborhood in Pleasanton is the place to be Saturday May 9th from 8:30 -2:00. We will be hosting a neighborhood garage sale since we are Pleasanton Realtors specializing in homes sold here.
There will be bookcases, desks, baby clothes, collectables, kitchen goods, patio furniture, couches…

Pleasanton home sales for April 2009 and Dublin Ranch Condos are HOT. I used the same opener last month, but nothing has changed. Multiple offers are back in style and if you are a Dublin Ranch Condo buyer or a Pleasanton home buyer under $600k then you know this as well. Fueled by the $8,000 tax credit, low interest rates and cheaper mortgage payments than rents in a lot of areas, the housing market in the Tri Valley is again taking off. For the month of April we had more buyers participate in multiple offer bidding wars and our homes listed for sale were receiving multiple bids as well. We were even apart of a 12 offer multiple bid in Dublin Ranch. Times are changing when buyers expect to increase offers.
Is the market recovering? Depends on who you talk to… i believe we still have room to go in the upper end of the market, but homes below $600k are flying off the market.
