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.
