Nestled in the middle of Pleasanton, Pleasanton Valley is ideally located, with lovely homes and beautiful, tree-lined streets.

Built by Morrison Homes between 1966 and 1974, the neighborhood boasts homes of 1,400 to 2,600 square feet and is centrally located to just about everything. 

While most lots are around 6,000 square feet, there are a rare few nearer to 13,000 square feet.

With four parks nearby, there is more than enough nature to satisfy any craving for the outdoors.

One of those parks in close proximity to the neighborhood is the Ken Mercer Pleasanton Sports Park. This recreational area is complete with large open spaces for sports, play, competition and fun. 

To the north side of Pleasanton Valley is Woodthrush Park, a lovely 3.5-acre park with picnic tables and easily accessible from most of the homes. 

Located near Hopyard Road and Del Valle Parkway is yet another easily accessible public space, Harvest Park.

Close by is the Amador Valley Community Park on the corner of Santa Rita Road and Black Avenue. 

A small section of the neighborhood has been given the nickname “gas lamp area,” for the gas lamps lining some streets on and around Black Avenue.

Realtor Kris Moxley said “the Pleasanton Valley is one of the most popular neighborhoods because of its central location.” 

“(There is) proximity to the downtown area, parks and K-12 level schools. The homes sought after price points are a mid-range of affordability giving homeowners that remodeling opportunity,” Moxley added. 

“It seems like there is no better place in the area to own a home,” she said. “The closeness you have to everything is a major plus. It’s also lovely if you enjoy nature and being outdoors.”
