Downtown Pleasant Hill, Pleasant Hill, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
This is the part of Pleasant Hill that actually has a downtown to walk to. The neighborhood wraps around the Downtown Pleasant Hill shopping district on Crescent Drive, where you get a Century 16 theater, Zachary's Pizza, a row of restaurants and chain retail, and a plaza that runs summer concerts. If your idea of a good Saturday is leaving the car parked and walking to dinner and a movie, very little else in the city competes with this. The housing here leans denser than the rest of Pleasant Hill, with condos, townhomes, and apartments in the mix, which is why entry prices run lower than the leafy single-family neighborhoods to the west. That density and the busier streets are the honest tradeoff, and the assigned elementary, Fair Oaks, trails the city's stronger campuses, which shapes how buyers shop here. But for walkability and the simple ability to live near something, this is the most urban address Pleasant Hill offers.
