Benson Rd in Union City occupies a western slice of town where residential streets blend into expansive wetlands near the Bay. Seabreeze Park and Mariner Park serve as green anchors, each offering playgrounds and open fields for recreation amid a fairly tranquil setting. The proximity to salt marshes and coastal breezes means occasional foggy mornings, but also a unique ecosystem at your doorstep—ideal for birdwatchers and those who enjoy waterfront walks. Homes here lean toward single-family designs on modest lots, with some newer developments interspersed. Commuters have straightforward access to Union City Boulevard, though traffic can back up during peak hours. Nearby local shops and schools lie just east of Alvarado Boulevard, ensuring that daily errands and family needs remain close at hand. All in all, Benson Rd provides a quieter, suburban lifestyle on the edge of Union City’s wetlands, giving residents a balance between nature and city conveniences.
