The Perfect Town Between Silicon Valley & Berkeley

San Leandro, California

Perfect weather, many huge lots, and a friendly community make San Leandro a perfect spot, in between Silicon Valley and Berkeley. 

In San Leandro, double-sized lots are common. With the changes in California’s building laws in 2022, particularly SB9 which allows for building a second house and legally splitting a property into 2 properties…San Leandro’s real estate market caught FIRE!

San Leandro has a thriving downtown area with a variety of shops, restaurants, and an outlet mall by 880. 

What I love is the city’s history of food manufacturing. To this day, Ghirardelli Chocolate is made in San Leandro!

San Leandro is a beer lovers’ paradise nowadays. Drake’s Brewing and 21st Amendment are based here. In 2022 Fieldwork Brewing opened a brew pub in downtown San Leandro.

The city is well-connected to other parts of the Bay Area through major freeways (580 and 880), BART and bus service. 

My clients and friends who bought homes in San Leandro love it!

Ask me more about San Leandro where I’ve lived and have watched the development.

For travelers, the proximity to Oakland airport, the 880 freeway, and a BART line make San Leandro a great choice.
