For weather and for access to all points in the East Bay and SF area, I'd go w/ San Leandro. For quiet and nicer neighborhoods, I'd go w/ Pleasant Hill. Just remember that you'll have a longer commute with BART, most likely. You'll probably be able to get larger parcels in Pleasant Hill, too. When I ride by on BART I think about all the veggies I could plant in some of those yards viewable from the train.

Hello and welcome to Redfin! My name is Charmaine and I am a lead agent with Redfin. Lucky for you, I've actually lived in San Leandro and Walnut Creek/Concord. I do agree the commute time would be shorter from San Leandro and the weather is cooler than Pleasant Hill since you are closer to the water. As far as neighborhoods and schools go, I believe Pleasant Hill would be more suitable for you. When I lived in Walnut Creek/Concord, BART was my form of transportation into SF and it wasn't all that bad (maybe 30-45 mins max). San Leandro does have a lot of community activities, restaurants and great neighborhoods, but Pleasant Hill has more to offer for schools, larger homes, family activities, etc. They have a great shopping area, as well. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to talk further
(415-226-2504 or charmaine@redfin.com).
Good luck with your search! Message Edited by Charmaine on 04-02-2009 08:29 PM
