Castro Valley Overview

Taking its namesake from a famed solider and rancher, Castro Valley is a widely popular city located in the sunny realm of California. Largely acting as a bedroom community to the nearby job markets of Berkley, Oakland and beyond, this idyllic blue collar locale offers a relaxed way of life and plenty of west coast charm to spare.

What is the history of Castro Valley?

Part of a 28K acre land grant in the mid-1800s, Castro Valley boasted its first public school by 1866. Parklands and a reservoir soon followed, and the city became well-known for chicken farming throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Lake Chabot is a close distance away from the center of town, combining with Castro Valley's ideal proximity to a number of larger cities to yield a bedroom community that remains popular today.

How is the weather in Castro Valley?

Like much of the legendary weather in California, Castro Valley apartment residents can expect sunny days and mild nights for the most part. Winter is rarely below freezing in regards to temperatures, and spring remains the best hance for precipitation. Autumn is composed of largely pleasant weather and crisp, comfortable evenings. 

How do I get around town?

AC Transit provides much of the bus service around the city, and the BART Rail System acts as a secondary mode of transportation for those calling Castro Valley rentals home. Still, many of the 60K+ locals rely on a private car or truck for their day-to-day transportation needs. Airports are available in several cities about 30 or less minutes away as well.

What is the Castro Valley commute like?

An assortment of Interstates can be found throughout Castro Valley, including I-580 and I-238. Interstate-880 is yet another popular roadway for commuters, with Redwood Road and Crow Canyon Road both acting as default 'main streets' for those residing in Castro Valley apartments near the center of town. Traffic typically moves smoothly in the city, although those traveling to Oakland and beyond may get a taste of the dreaded 'Cali congestion', and should allow ample time for reaching their destination.

What are the local media outlets?

Most major network broadcasting options are readily available to those living in Castro Valley apartments for rent, including area affiliates of NBC and CBS. Radio is plentiful as well, a winning mixture of offerings ranging from jazz to gospel, adult contemporary hits to political talk formats. The 'East Bay Times' is a popular newspaper in the vicinity. 

Why live in Castro Valley, CA?

From plentiful local arts and culture to a bevvy of public parks and natural landscape beauty, Castro Valley apartments for rent have something to offer almost all walks of life. Local jobs in the service industry and health care are readily available, with Castro Valley's proximity to a number of popular larger California cities and their job markets a definite bonus. From growing families to young professionals, Castro Valley rentals make an excellent option for anyone eager to connect with the west coast.

What Castro Valley landmarks should I see?

Rowell Rodeo Park is an excellent spot to catch a growing array of yearly events, and the city's one-room school house dates all the way back to 1866. Likewise, the Adobe Art Gallery has roots in the community since the 1930s, and the Neighborhood Church's easy-to-spot trio of crosses is a noted landmark across the horizon.

What is there to do around Castro Valley?

Take in a night at the movies with a visit to Chabot Cinema,  or tour the Hayward Japanese Gardens, both an easy reach from numerous Castro Valley apartments. The Don Castro Regional Park is an ideal spot for a family day of swimming and bird watching, with Doug's Place an ideal spot to grab a burger or just relax with your new neighbors.

Any annual festivals or Castro Valley events to know?

The annual Rodeo is a popular and exciting event, drawing large crowds and some noteworthy musical acts. The Fall Fest is another joyous gathering, complete with seasonal baked goods such as pumpkin pies. The Greek Food Festival is a culinary paradise, and the Castro Valley Classic Car Show is sure to delight any auto fan.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Drive to the famous piers of San Francisco and enjoy a bowl of clam chowder while walking the incredible coin-operated machine museum, or head to the bright lights of Hollywood's Sunset Strip, both an easy drive from many apartments for rent in Castro Valley. Highway 101 provides a romantic cruise down the coast to San Diego as well, with plenty of fishing and sunbathing opportunities along the way.
