Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
The Trees is the leafy counterpart to The Flowers, the other half of Hercules's Trees and Flowers area, with streets named for trees. The name turns out to be more than a label: this central-east tract from the 1970s and 80s has had decades to grow a real canopy, and the mature street trees give it some of the better shade and greenery among the inland neighborhoods. It is settled, residential, and central. The neighborhood schools serving the Trees and Flowers area are close, the central parks and civic core are a short drive west, and San Pablo Avenue and I-80 are within easy reach for errands and the commute. The homes are the era's solid single-family stock on quiet blocks. The familiar Hercules tradeoff is here too: comfortable and green, but you will drive for most everyday needs. What sets The Trees apart from its sibling tracts is simply the canopy. After fifty years, the tree-named streets actually feel like tree streets.
