Foothill Knolls

Foothill Knolls is another pocket neighborhood on the far western end of Pleasanton. The name “knolls” is a little misleading here. This doesn’t look very much like a knoll to me at all—pretty flat actually. These are nice big contemporary style homes, with very well kept yards and a fair number of quiet cul-de-sacs where you will find roll out basketball backboards. I have seen very many pick-up games on these cul-de-sacs, but given the obesity rate in this country it is definitely not a bad idea.

Just about every home here also has a pool, which is a great addition given the boiling summer temperatures you get here in Livermore. (Temperatures which, I might add, are probably only going to become more unbearable as Climate Change begins to take it toll.)

On the southern end of this neighborhood there is a nice park as well, one of many such parks that put the “pleasant” in Pleasanton. In addition to the usual play area, it also has a basketball court and “beach” volleyball court with sand so people can really get into it.

I assume these are pretty much million dollar homes as well.

A pretty nice spot as far as the suburbs go.
