Rolling hills and dense houses

Though just around the corner from downtown Livermore and straddling Interstate 580, Springtown maintains a quiet feel along its residential streets and rolling hills. Livermore-raised Realtor Jake Fahnhorst with Keller Williams says, “This is a bang for your buck area with anything you want. There’s a huge range of home and lot sizes. We have award-winning schools, nature, walkable retail and dining and Downtown Livermore is the shining star for events.”

A wide range of homes for a wide range of budgets

Springtown is a product of the Bay Area’s 1960s suburbanization; small residential lanes branch off from long, winding boulevards lined with ranch-style and Craftsman homes that are priced from $640,000 to $1.8 million. Though many of these properties were built in the 1960s and 1970s, the most expensive are from the 1990s to 2010s. Manufactured homes at the neighborhood’s southern end range in price from $228,000 to $324,000, while condos and townhouses have sold for between $540,000 and $1.1 million.

Bushy Creek Regional Reserve provides miles of trails

Springtown is dotted with community parks, varying from small playgrounds to athletic areas with baseball and soccer fields. These parks are linked together by paved pathways that run from Northfront Park in the southeast to Marlin Pound Neighborhood Park in the northwest, offering plenty of opportunities for backyard strolls. Just northeast of Springtown is the Brushy Peak Regional Preserve, a 1,833-acre nature preserve full of lush grassland, wildflowers and hiking trails. This green, remote expanse feels worlds away from urban life, a quality that once enabled the 19th-century bandit Joaquin Murrieta - the historical basis for Zorro - to hide out in this perpetual wildland. Zorro notwithstanding, the neighborhood experiences little crime now, scoring a 2 out of 10 on the CAP crime index, which is below the national average of 4.

Walkable shopping and dining on North Vasco Road

Though many travel into downtown Livermore to explore its culinary and retail scenes, Springtown has its own collection of conveniences. “Vasco Plaza on North Vasco Road has some really nice restaurants that people walk to all the time,” says Fahnhorst. This plaza includes an 88 Seafood Supermarket, which is an Asian grocer selling imported goods like soju and sake. The local food scene takes on a similarly international character; Tequila’s Taqueria specializes in festive cocktails as well as Mexican fare, while The Essence serves upscale Indian cuisine and China Pavilion is a go-to for Chinese takeout. For events ranging from an annual June rodeo to autumn winery tours, downtown Livermore is just 3.5 miles down First Street.

There are many great eatery options at the Vasco Plaza in Springtown.
