Pleasanton offers many amenities, from recreational activities to the cultural arts to an array of shopping and dining experiences. And all of this is easily accessible and within minutes of the heart of Pleasanton - the historic downtown.

Charming, historic downtown Pleasanton is an enjoyable place to shop, dine and meet friends in the heart of the city. Downtown will greet you with unexpected finds and uncommon treasures. The pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined streets offer a vibrant blend of parks and historic buildings, specialty shops and service businesses, fine dining and coffee shops.

Pleasanton is a gateway to the oldest wine-growing region in the state, the Livermore Valley. There are more than 30 active wineries in the area, and Mitchell Katz Winery, offering award-winning vintages, is located along the scenic Vineyard Corridor.

Pleasanton is conveniently located between the San Francisco Bay area and California’s great Central Valley. It's easily accessible by car from Interstates 580 and 680, and within an hour’s drive of several international airports. Once you’re here, getting around town is just as easy. Pleasanton is a stop on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) line and has an extensive bus network with service throughout the community.
