Danville is an upscale suburban community with unparalleled natural beauty. As a railroad town dating from the 1800s, Danville boasts a vibrant downtown featuring a mix of stately historic buildings, renowned restaurants, and quaint shops and boutiques. With a population of approximately 40,000, while the downtown area, which is the heart of the city, retains its old town charm, it is the upscale residential developments on the eastern edge of the city that have helped put Danville on the map.
In the late 1970s, Blackhawk ranch was purchased and developed into Blackhawk, a luxury gated golf community with a private country club, along with an upscale shopping center. Blackhawk became a prestigious destination for the area's movers and shakers, and helped spawn more development in the pastoral grazing lands of the Tassajara Valley. But it is downtown Danville that remains the heart of the city, with its 4th of July parade, the weekly farmers market, and its exquisite shops and restaurants.
In terms of real estate, Danville CA is one of the premier communities in the East Bay, with homes and properties ranging from the $600,000s to well over $3 million. The Danville California real estate market has enjoyed strong appreciation, and is poised to see more appreciation as the East Bay continues to grow. |
