Pleasanton Home – 4040 Jensen Sold by Auction

Not too many Pleasanton homes or tri valley homes are sold by auction, but a home in the Jensen Amador Estates of Pleasanton sold for $478,500 by auction. Over 100 people showed up on the day of auction and a starting bid of $299,000 was bid up by about 12 bidders and in the end came down to two people as many auctions do. The Jensen Amador Estates in Pleasanton normally see homes selling or between $550,000 and $650,000 with a few reaching over the $700,000 mark. So who was the winning bidder? Well in this case it was not an investor looking for a fast flip, but someone who plans to stay in the home for some time. Some of the reasons this homeowner chose this location and neighborhood were the proximity to Downtown Pleasanton, great Pleasanton Schools (Alisal Elementary and Amador High School are just minutes away) and ease of commute to both 580 and 680.

Downtown Pleasanton – Redcoats in Pleasanton!!

No this is not 1873, but the Redcoats are in Pleasanton!

Downtown Pleasanton has seen many restaurants come and go in the past few years. Past restaurants are all missing something that Redcoats in Pleasanton has. This is not a restaurant review, but one of the reasons Downtown Pleasanton adds value to the community through establishments like Redcoats.

Pleasanton does not currently have a restaurant like Redcoats and although Downtown Pleasanton is a destination attracting people from surrounding communities, it must still have restaurants that are not typical. Atmosphere, location, authentic food (try the Shepherd’s Pie), somewhere to bring the family and somewhere to relax on the weekend are what Redcoats offers.

Some of the things that make a community great are obvious like schools, proximity to jobs and a safety. Pleasanton homes are the same as Dublin Homes, Livermore homes or San Ramon homes, but there are a few things Pleasanton has that the other communities do not have. Amenities like Downtown Pleasanton, Stoneridge Mall, Alameda County Fair, and new homes in Pleasanton like Ponderosa homes at Ironwood.

When you add all of the Amenities of Pleasanton together you get a great town that people from across the bay want to live in and homes in Pleasanton are currently still some of the most desired when compared to other Tri Valley homes or East Bay homes.
