THE AREA  

\n
• Dublin  is a suburban city of the East Bay in California, United States. It is located within the Amador Valley of Alameda County's Tri-Valley region. New transit-oriented developments, such as Aster (opened 2017) and Connolly Station (opened 2013), are attracting young commuters to the community. These educated, affluent residents are seeking new dining, shopping, and recreational amenities. Learn more about Downtown Dublin and see how it is a great place to shop, dine, and visit, as well as the perfect place to invest. While the area has long been a successful regional shopping destination, plans have been developed to promote more intensive growth to allow a more pedestrian-oriented, vibrant mixed-use area to take shape. Along a center of commerce, Downtown Dublin, located along Dublin Boulevard near both Interstate 580 and Interstate 680, is undergoing a transformation. An outstanding geographic location, compelling demographics, and the establishment of the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station are allowing higher density, mixed use projects to begin to take place.
