Livermore Valley
Lifestyle
 Welcome home to Livermore,
Pleasanton and Dublin where all the urban amenities
exist within our relaxed lifestyle. Vineyards and
golden hillsides provide the scenery surrounding our
town. Enjoy trips to the mountains or the less than
an hour drive to San Francisco. Our community spirit
is obvious everywhere you go.
The Livermore Valley is located in the Tri-Valley
region east of San Francisco. Interstates 580 and
680 provide easy access to both the Livermore Valley
and San Francisco Bay metropolitan area.
Livermore Municipal Airport is a 10 -15 minute drive
to the intersection of Interstate 580 and 680. The
airport serves Livermore's business parks, Bishop
Ranch and Hacienda Business Park. The Airport is a
General Aviation Airport which serves private,
business, and corporate tenants and customers.
 The hills surrounding the Livermore Valley look down
on twenty six Vineyards and Wineries where you can
enjoy sampling the wines in the tasting rooms. The
wineries help to maintain the rural feel of the
area.
Education is an important part of the Livermore
Valley Lifestyle. Livermore Valley Joint Unified
School District, Pleasanton Unified School District,
and Dublin Unified School District, offer
opportunities for academic achievement. For more
