Want to climb up the Silicon Valley ladder, but can’t quite afford its rising real estate prices? Then, the next best place to settle is Union City, which is a mere 25 miles away. Its peaceful way of life, the diverse housing market, and convenient location make it a hub for techies and corporate players who desire a quiet retreat to the suburbs after work.
One of Alameda County’s densely populated suburban locales, Union City makes a fine address for almost anyone. Here’s why you should consider buying a home here:
Access to key Bay Area attractions
In Union City, you’re never closed off from the full Bay Area experience. San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge is only a day trip away, and with Palo Alto only 20 minutes off, travelling from one city to another is never tiring.
The proximity to nature
Whether you want to go soul-searching in the outdoors or pursue rugged California hilltops, Union City’s location makes communing with nature a walk in the park. Apart from its dozen-or-so parklands, this neighborhood has plenty of outdoor attractions.
Wander around the Dry Creek Cottage and Gardens to see one of Union City’s hidden gems and learn a thing or two about history through various botanicals. Alternatively, the Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont lets you hike and bike at leisure.
The warm community
Over 70,000 locals call Union City home. Nonetheless, you can expect a tight-knit community atmosphere where everyone greets each other by name.
The farmers market
Speaking of a tight-knit community, you’ll find just that at the weekly Union City Farmers Market which opens to the public every Saturday and brims with the season’s freshest crops.
