As a resident of Shadow Cliff homes in Pleasanton and speaking as a Pleasanton Realtor, I can say our neighborhood is quite busy! There are currently 2 active homes on the market ranging size from 1,135 sf. up to 2,165 sf. and ranging in price from $509,000 to $699,950. In the last 35-days 3 homes in the neighborhood have gone pending. Two of these homes are priced at $559,000 and one at $569,000. Last year, all year long we didn’t have this kind of activity in the neighborhood.
As an original owner, I purchased my home in Shadow Cliff in 1988 and at the time had no children. Since then of course things have changed and have a daughter now in college and my son still at Amador High School. Many know Pleasanton is well known for its educational system and thus many people want to move here. Shadow Cliff is a wonderful community and very friendly.
This week is a week of welcoming new businesses to the area. This one in particular is special to me as my broker and I represented the owner of the space in finding the perfect location for his restaurant.
Yanagi Sushi and Grill is located on the corner of Dublin Blvd and Dougherty Road in Dublin at Tralee. Jay Chung
, owner, is a WELL established, successful business owner. This is his 6th restaurant opening. He has previously created and opened sushi restaurants over the past several years in the Pismo Beach and Santa Maria area and has ventured north to continue his success here in the Bay Area!
The restaurant in Dublin is a Tappan Style (sit at the grill and watch your personal chef create a delicious meal) and has a full sushi bar. The pre-Grand Opening was last night for invited guest and a “trial” run for the public opening tonight! The staff is enthusiastic and eager to serve a fantastic meal. Owner and Master Chef, Jay Chung, was on hand over seeing all the activities of the evening.
I encourage you to show your support to this new-to-the-Bay-Area business and stop by for a tasty meal.
I’d like to be the first to welcome our new neighbor to the 350 block of Main Street Pleasanton! Yogafina is opening its 5th location right here in awesome down town Pleasanton. This space, previously occupied by Sugar Shack, has been transformed into a bright, inviting gathering place where you serve yourself, choosing from various flavors of yogurt. You can build your own fabulous treat with a selection of scrumptious toppings!
The owner of Yogafina that he is looking for applicants to drop off their resume at the store location. He prefers to receive applications in hand rather than via email. The store is located at 350-E Main Street, Pleasanton.
Get your taste buds ready! Yogafina has arrived and will open for business this Friday, August 14!
As a Pleasanton Realtor and resident of Shadow Cliff homes in Pleasanton, I recently made the cable change from Comcast to ATT U-verse. I wanted to give my opinon on the service so that in the event others are thinking of changing, they have some feedback to consider.
ATT U-verse is new to my neighborhood and only one other resident in Shadow Cliff Homes had subscribed to the new service at the time I was approached by the door-to-door salesman. Of course I was apprehensive, but the package sounded really good. Even though there were more features, more channels and supposed higher speed internet I was concerned I’d turn out to be a disappointed.
I signed up for U-verse TV, Phone & Internet. I was scheduled for an all day installation. The installer showed up on time, spent most of the day at my home, and was efficient and friendly. Best of all, the service works perfectly! I am able to record on the main television and just like the commercial says, watch the recordings on any TV in the house. I’m very happy with the change!
