South Vallejo offers shoreline living with a storied maritime backdrop, where the Carquinez Strait brings cool breezes and wide-open views. Just minutes from the energy of Vallejo, this neighborhood blends early 20th-century cottages with newer infill, set along gridded streets that lead toward the waterfront and the historic cranes of nearby Mare Island. Weekdays are simplified by the San Francisco Bay Ferry’s Vallejo terminal, making the San Francisco Bay Ferry a practical and scenic commute option.
On weekends, locals stroll the promenade, cast a line along Mare Island Way, or cross the channel for guided tours with the Mare Island Historic Park Foundation. Family-run taquerias, seafood spots, and bakeries dot the neighborhood, while downtown galleries and live music are a quick hop away. Outdoor time is easy to find, from shoreline overlooks to nearby Glen Cove and its Bay Trail connections, with the boutique waterfront of Benicia just over the bridge for a change of pace.
Families are served by the Vallejo City Unified School District, which offers neighborhood schools, themed academies, and career pathways. Residents also benefit from county services and parks throughout Solano County. Housing here ranges from compact bungalows to larger parcels on hillside streets, with many homes capturing sunset views over the strait.
