Pleasanton Reviews
Rating 4.32 out of 5 165 reviews
Pleasanton has very nice neighborhoods. There are a LOT of trees and parks here that make it seem very natural. The Meadowlark Dairy downtown serves delicious ice cream as well as other treats. A lot of the restaurants downtown are amazing too! If you live near a school, it's definitely walkable. Both high schools are great (and I love the friendly rivalry we've had)! The town is a very safe place to live in and has a very family-friendly environment. The public library has a lot of great books and the staff there are very friendly to both adults and children!
I really love living in Pleasanton. It is a well-off town with amazing people, and it is very clean! Traffic is not bad and there is also very little crime. The police department is great and very active in the community! Pleasanton also has an adorable downtown with lots of cute boutiques and restaurants. The school district is ranked 51st in the state and the students at the high schools are very competitive and driven. There are many events year-round, especially around holidays, that are family-friendly and lovely to attend. Overall, it is a great city to live and raise a family in!
My family and I moved here about twelve years ago, and we have had a great experience! Pleasanton has a very homey feel to it, and I'm super glad we chose to reside here. I go to a great school called Amador Valley High, which has given me the opportunity to get into a great college! In general, I feel very safe here, even as a girl. Not much crime occurs here, or at least that I know of, and it is very family friendly. I would say the one downside is that Pleasanton is very expensive. However, there are many positive aspects. There are lots of diverse festivals and unique activities. There's a great farmer's market and a great art museum! The downtown is super quaint and I used to love spending my summers as a kid roaming around downtown when the streets are closed off on weekends. I obtained my first two jobs here, as an Icicles worker, and a camp counselor. There are great hiking trails and lots of great restaurants too! In general, this place will always feel like home.
