Single-Story Serenity with Panoramic SF Bay Views

Before Hayward was a vibrant community of more than 140,000 residents, its temperate climate and fertile soil made it a center for agriculture where flowers and apricot trees grew in abundance. Today, Hayward is building a pedestrian-friendly downtown with a balanced mix of housing, retail shops, offices, restaurants, and a free Wi-Fi network already in place.
Hayward’s central location in Alameda County makes for easy commuting. It is just 25 miles southeast of San Francisco, 14 miles south of Oakland, 26 miles north of San Jose, and 10 miles west of the valley communities surrounding Pleasanton. Hayward is serviced by an extensive network of freeways and bus lines, two Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations, an Amtrak station, and the Hayward Executive Airport, with easy access to San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose airports.
Hayward is home to California State University, East Bay as well as Chabot College. Locals enjoy the downtown Hayward street parties that occur every third Thursday throughout the summer. Hayward’s Garin and Dry Creek Regional Parks offer hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and fishing.
Hayward homes include hilltop estates with panoramic bay views, single-family homes with spacious decks for outdoor entertaining, and well-priced homes close to schools.
