Palomares Hills rises along the eastern ridgelines of Castro Valley, offering a master-planned community known for sweeping views, wide sidewalks, and thoughtfully maintained open space. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities through the Palomares Hills Community Association, including a clubhouse, pool, and courts, plus pocket parks and trails that make after-work strolls or weekend bike rides an easy habit. Outdoor lovers can branch into East Bay Regional Park District gems like Lake Chabot Regional Park and Don Castro Regional Recreation Area for fishing, kayaking, and hiking.
Education is a standout. Neighborhood students typically attend Jensen Ranch Elementary, Canyon Middle School, and Castro Valley High School, all part of the well-regarded Castro Valley Unified School District. Community events, sports, and enrichment programs help families connect beyond the classroom, reinforcing the neighborhood’s welcoming, organized feel.
Commuters appreciate quick access to I-580, BART at the Castro Valley Station, and job centers in nearby Hayward and Dublin. Within Alameda County, Palomares Hills shares the eastern hillscape with fellow planned communities like Five Canyons, yet maintains its own identity—quiet cul-de-sacs, scenic canyon vistas, and a calendar of HOA-supported activities that keep neighbors engaged.
