Recreation

The San Francisco Bay Area is a cultural and recreational hub with something for everyone. Visit the City itself, or take a side excursion to one of the spectacular surrounding areas, all within a few hours’ drive.

Housing

The Livermore Valley is suburban living at its best — good schools, open space, quaint downtowns, and low crime. Sandia/California is also a reasonable commute from more affordable housing communities in San Joaquin County.

Education

The Bay Area is home to first-tier universities like Stanford and UC Berkeley and some of the finest public schools in the state. There are also terrific state schools, private institutions, and community colleges. The educational opportunities are endless, allowing our students to reach sky-high.

Diversity

The mix of ethnic cultures in the Bay Area is high on many people’s list of what makes this a great place to live. Plus, you can always satisfy your cravings for authentic cuisine from around the world!
