We’re delighted by the news that Pleasanton made CNN Money’s list of America’s Top 100 Places to Live. Our fair city ranked 63rd on the list and was the only Bay Area city to make the cut.

Among Pleasanton’s most desirable traits, the magazine highlighted our family-oriented town, its proximity to San Francisco and called our school district one of the strongest in the state. Among our other highlights: 40 parks “peppered with sports fields,” 22 miles of scenic trails and our soon-to-open Firehouse Arts Center. We love this town!
