Located only a few blocks from vibrant downtown Pleasanton’s shops and dining options, Jensen Tract and Amador Estates residents love the neighborhood’s proximity to local hot spots and quality and proximity of the schools.
The two neighborhoods are defined by the schools, literally and figuratively. Children in the area attend Alisal Elementary, Harvest Park Middle and Amador Valley High, which are all within walking distance.
Alisal Elementary is used as the dividing line between Jensen Tract and Amador Estates, with homes on the south side of the school in the Jensen Tract and homes to the north in Amador Estates.
In addition to having students at the same schools, residents of both neighborhoods also enjoy proximity to the local post office, a grocery store and other retail.
But Jensen Tract and Amador Estates were developed in completely different ways.

The Jensen Tract neighborhood was named for its developer, Jensen Homes, and houses range between 1,100 and 2,000 square feet. Originally built with single-level ranch style homes, the neighborhood now includes some two-story homes, showing homeowners’ need for more room but desire to stay in the area.
Neighboring Amador Estates was built by Devmar Homes between 1960 and 1970 and is filled with mostly single-story homes ranging from approximately 1,050 to 1,700 square feet.
Residents of all ages have a plethora of places to play close to these neighborhoods, including Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center. With over 23 acres, Amador Valley Community Park is just across the street and features a barbecue pit, picnic tables, horseshoes, tot play areas and very large fields for many different sports. Also, the back of Alisal Elementary School is open to the public during non-school hours, and many sporting events and practices are held there.
“This is the perfect place, and a wonderful area for families and their children to be so close to schools and walking distance to the downtown area,” said Realtor Kris Moxley. “It’s a neighborhood that homeowners don’t want to move from.”
