An urban community in central Hayward
Hayward’s Santa Clara neighborhood is a comfortable place to call home in one of the East Bay’s fastest-growing cities. Located in central Hayward, this dense, urban community puts residents within walking distance of shopping plazas and parks, and it's less than a mile from a major highway. “It’s in a great location. You can be on the freeway in a few minutes,” says Realtor Jeff Fajardo of Fohl Realty. “We’re seeing a lot of people moving here from the South Bay and the Peninsula; you can get across the Bay in a half-hour, but the home prices here are way more affordable.”
Santa Clara neighborhood provides a comfortable place to call home in the Bay Area.
Centennial Park sits in the heart of the Santa Clara neighborhood.

Bungalows and ranch homes in the heart of the city
This slice of Hayward features rows of bungalows and ranch homes on a traditional street grid. Split-level builds and Mediterranean-style detailing add variety along the cul-de-sacs and cutouts. Lots sizes are typically on the smaller side, typically around 5,000 square feet, but there’s still plenty of room for landscaping and gardening. While it's primarily made up of single-family homes, there are some recent developments of town homes and apartments near the area’s busy thoroughfares. Town houses range in price from $750,000 to $900,000, while single-family homes typically range from $700,000 to $1.1 million.

Community parks are a draw for new residents
Local parks and schools are a big perk for residents, says Realtor Kerissa Calvo of Fohl Realty. “It’s very family-oriented — you’ll see kids and families walking around the neighborhood and going to parks,” she says. The community gathers at Centennial Park, which has flat trails, various athletic courts and picnic areas perfect for hosting a family reunion or birthday party. Birchfield Park runs alongside Santa Clara Street for a full city block and provides shady trees, playgrounds and dog-friendly fields.
