Pleasant Hill is a suburban town about 30-minutes outside of San Francisco, surrounded by hills and within driving distance of the ocean. Residents enjoy the benefit of being conveniently located near the major Bay Area destinations while still being able to enjoy the quaintness of small-town life. In addition to moderate weather year-round, here are a few reasons to consider calling Pleasant Hill your future home.
No shortage of summer fun! Less than two miles outside of the Pleasant Hill city center is WaterWorld USA with rides, attractions, and shopping to keep cool on hot summer days. If that isn't enough, it's just a thirty-minute drive from the Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach where you can take part in swimming, surfing, and a variety of water sports.
Home values are on the rise! Home values have increased by 7% between 2013 and 2014 making Pleasant Hill a rapidly growing community and an even better investment. As a result, there are plenty of rent to own opportunities on the market, particularly in the Hillsdale and Valley High neighborhoods. This gives future homeowners the opportunity to try a house before they buy while still investing a portion of their rental payments into the down payment on the purchase.
Strong sense of community! There are three colleges located in Pleasant Hill, California including Diablo Valley College, John F. Kennedy University, Carrington College California. The city of Pleasant Hill has a great deal of spirit and support for their local sports teams from both the college and high school levels, bringing everyone together for a common cause and building a stronger community.
Close to plenty of entertainment! Around Pleasant Valley, there's always so much to do whether you're shopping at the Crescent Drive shopping complex, or catching the latest blockbuster at Century 16 Theatre. However, if you ever feel like you want to get away, Pleasant Hill is a short distance away from other sprawling cities like Walnut Creek, Berkeley, Oakland, and of course San Francisco.
Sales are moving fast! Current house market inventory has increased by 34% since 2013 with a 6% decrease in total time spent on the market all around the city from the neighborhood of College Park to Grayson Creek. That means that more and more people are buying and selling houses at faster rates, making the market better than ever to act now to rent or buy a new home.
