Grew up in Livermore through 80's and 90's and my grandparents lived in Pleasanton and Dublin. I love the Tri-Valley and wish I could afford to live there, but sadly when I came of age I moved away to a more affordable state (Arizona). I do miss that area and unfortunately don't visit as often as I should as I still have family there. You are correct on the parks of the area and the vibe of that old downtown. Great area to grow up in. Schools are great as well. my mother attended Amador and I went to Granada in Livermore.
Growing up in Tri-Valley, Dublin/Pleasanton was always the hub for shops, restaurants and entertainment. Most of this is centered along the main areterials of Dublin Blvd and Stoneridge Dr on opposite sides of 580. This is also where all the new development is focused surrounding the only 2 Bart stations (East/West Dublin/Pleasanton) that serve the Tri-Valley. The Dublin and San Ramon areas have been among the fastest growing cities in California recently, which has caused Dublin to become heavily congested with traffic most hours of the day. Pleasanton is the only city south of 580 in the Tri-Valley and has a history of constraining growth (see Costco in Pleasanton) so it is much less crowded. The main reasons to live in the Dublin/Pleasanton area of the Tri-Valley are good transportation access (680 and 580; Bart); Central location (Can get to SF, SJ, Oak, Fremont under an hr); Low crime and homeless; safety and good schools.
Bruh I have lived in pleasanton for over ten years now and still live there and I cannot move. Eeeeeee help me. Literately during coronavirus we were the last city in California to get off quarantine.
I love Pleasanton honestly, it’s hard because it’s expensive but I’m about to move from my parents house. I’m leaving Pleasanton and will miss it, the ridge, skate park etc. so to the people thinking about moving here and have the money do it it’s safe and there’s many things to do
Dude nice. DT P TOWN IS FYEEEEE. Worked at Haps for a minute, dope spot. Really love getting that soft served ice cream with air conditioning in my car
I agree. I mention in the video that unfortunately there aren’t that many great places to eat. Although I have faith Gay Nineties will stay. It would be a rough day if they ever left
I love Dublin and Pleasanton. Lived here since 2003. You will love it here, but the housing is extremely expensive. This video is very accurate.
Thank you for your comment!

Yes but horrible drivers lol
Lol
I also live in pleasanton!
Same here! Been here my whole life, love it here!
I grew up in Vintage Hills. John Madden owns Hap’s. I remember when it was a crappy, seedy little bar 😂
Haha not so much anymore!
I Grew up in Birdland. I loved Growing up in Pleasanton. I left to move with my family in 1999 to Laguna Beach which wasn't a bad move at all.
Love Birdland! Such a great neighborhood
Thanks for the great review 👍
Could you please tell a bit more about the wildfires: how often do they affect the town?
I would love to give you my full experience having lived here my whole life. Feel free to email me cooper@theagentcooper.com if you’d like! Thank you!

Alameda county as a whole is one of the more strict counties in the state. Looking forward to getting back to normal!

The Dairy is the spot!! So it haps!
Are there a lot of Filipinos there?
Tri-Valley is pretty diverse. I don’t have actual figures unfortunately.
I live there lol
I grew up there! I love Pleasanton
Pleasanton is the valley, not the east bay. Anything over the hill is the valley
Alameda and Contra Costa Counties are the East Bay. The Valley is Silicon Valley
Good food here? Not really. It’s all chains. Dean’s is now gone, and Gay Nineties Pizza is next. Those are Pleasanton icons.
I agree. I mention in the video that unfortunately there aren’t that many great places to eat. Although I have faith Gay Nineties will stay. It would be a rough day if they ever left
No not gay nineties😢 it’s the best pizza I have ever had
100%!!
There are Indian restaurants on nearly every block now, so if you like curry, Pleasanton is becoming the new Fremont...or New Delhi.
