Pleasant Hill

 

To the north of Walnut Creek in the East Bay, Pleasant Hill was once ranch land in the center of the Diablo Valley. Now it combines small-town charm with a vibrant downtown. The homes in this commuter suburb range from traditional to contemporary and vary in size. On Crescent Drive, dozens of eateries offer a variety of cuisine. Pleasant Hill’s Recreation and Park District features a bustling community center, four parks, and two pools. The hike and bike trail at Las Juntas Open Space preserve offers panoramic views of Mount Diablo.
