Dublin is the Tri-Valley's growth story: two BART stations, the newest housing stock in the region, and a school district that has invested heavily alongside the city's expansion. Median single-family values typically run $1.5M–$1.8M, generally a step below San Ramon and Pleasanton.

East Dublin communities like Jordan Ranch, Wallis Ranch, and Boulevard offer 2010s-and-newer homes that are hard to find elsewhere in the East Bay — a major draw for buyers who want modern floor plans without a renovation project.

BART

Dublin/Pleasanton and West Dublin stations make this the Tri-Valley's best transit-connected city.

New homes

East Dublin's master-planned communities have the region's newest construction and amenities.

Schools

Dublin Unified performs well and opened Emerald High — the district's second comprehensive high school — to serve growth.

Value

Typically more attainable than San Ramon or Pleasanton while sharing the same job and lifestyle corridor.

EDUCATION

Schools in Dublin
