Cal State East Bay, Scenic Hillside Setting, Ward Creek Trails

Mission Foothills encompasses the hillside area surrounding California State University, East Bay, merging academic energy with a scenic, suburban feel. Much of the neighborhood’s appeal lies in its elevated terrain, offering panoramic views of Hayward and the greater Bay Area. The Cal State campus adds cultural and educational opportunities, including performances at the University Theatre and sporting events at Pioneer Stadium. For those seeking outdoor adventures, Ward Creek Trailhead and nearby green spaces provide hiking options amid rolling hills. Residents benefit from relatively quick access to downtown Hayward and major roadways like Mission Boulevard, making errands and commutes manageable. Local spots like Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers and other eateries are situated near the campus and along Hayward Boulevard, offering practical dining choices. All told, Mission Foothills draws a mix of students, university staff, and homeowners looking for a hilly retreat without sacrificing city convenience.
