About halfway between San Francisco and Modesto, Livermore’s local economy represents some of California’s oldest and youngest industries: the city is home to two major DOE laboratories and was the site of the state’s first commercial vineyards (several world-class wineries still operate there today).
The downtown area along First Street is a gorgeous tree-lined corridor of cafes, shops, and entertainment venues. Two ACE train stations in town give residents easy access to practically anywhere in the region. The local schools are top-notch and several quality parks are scattered throughout the community.
