Quiet South Livermore area zoned for highly rated public schools

Whispering Pines is considered a desirable south Livermore neighborhood with highly rated schools, well-kept lawns and proximity to outdoor recreation hotspots. It’s a suburban area of late 20th-century homes, mostly ranch or Spanish-style properties outside the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. Its small size and lack of busy roads make it bikeable and walkable, but the commuter rail station, bustling coffee shops and community events of downtown Livermore are just 3 miles away.

Hiking and biking throughout Livermore Area Recreation & Park District

Independence Park borders Whispering Pines; its 17 acres contain athletic fields, a playground and a barbecue area. “Independence Park is a huge draw for local youth sports year-round,” says David Weisgerber, community outreach supervisor at Livermore Area Recreation & Park District (LARPD). “It has flag football every weekend, and Livermore has great bike and multiuse paths throughout the city.” Trails extend south of Independence Park to the larger, 847-acre Sycamore Grove Park, an open space with biking, walking and hiking pathways. Members of The Club at Livermore can access tennis courts and outdoor pools, while members of the Club at Ruby Hill can use the country club’s golf course.
