The Community

A+ rated public schools, well-maintained playgrounds, and quiet neighborhoods bring families to Pleasanton, and endless opportunities for fun and recreation make them stay. Commuters love its central location, ease of public transportation, and outdoor activities after a long day or week at the office.

It’s so relaxing to come home and explore the trails in the nature reserves on the west side of town, or go swimming, boating, or on a picnic at the lake in Shadow Cliffs Recreation Area just to the east. This pet-friendly city has over 40 community parks, and you can even play golf in wine country at Ruby Hill.

In the center of town, Ken Mercer Sports Park offers football, baseball, and soccer fields, a playground for younger kids, and even a sand volleyball court. While this is a quiet community that winds down before 10pm, its proximity to bigger cities puts nightlife within reach.
