Located in the heart of San Francisco’s East Bay directly adjacent to the Port of Oakland, San Leandro enjoys a well-earned reputation as one of the region’s busiest commercial hubs. Home to Kraft/General Foods, Otis Spunkmeyer, and Ghiradelli Chocolate Co., San Leandro offers a wide range of employment opportunities along with great weather, easy freeway access, enviable public transportation, and a downtown business district that has seen significant growth in recent years.
Situated in the heart of the city, Old San Leandro lies just south of the hectic business district and west of Highway 14, a busy thoroughfare that bisects the city and provides the main north-south route through town. The diverse, family-oriented neighborhood contains a montage of well-maintained single-family ranch homes from the 1960s and '70s, condominiums, old Tudor style buildings and Mission Revival-style homes. With access to Interstate 580 and 880, it’s easy to explore the rest of the Bay Area.
