Deer Oaks / Twelve Oaks

Deer Oaks is a tiny Pleasanton neighborhood just to the west of Foothill Road where Bernal meets up with it. It is so small I could fit it into a shoe box. Okay, maybe not that small, but still, it is only about a half dozen lanes or so and they don’t stretch up into the hills very far. This area is mostly undeveloped green space, with attractive, usually green Contra Costa hills filled with trees. Very nice as a backyard view.

Although you will find the occasional barn up here still, this area is now basically made up of McMansions. Big homes tucked away behind iron wrought gates and stonework. It is really quite nice, in that sort manicured antiseptic sort of way.

It goes without saying that these are million dollar homes, of course. Maybe even half way to two million dollars.

All the amenities are close by, like Safeway and that kind of thing, but you have your own little corner of Pleasanton for you and your McMillionaire buddies. What else could you ask for?
