Coverage

Every Livermore neighborhood, plus the neighbors.

The van is based off Arroyo Road, so most of the city is about 22 minutes away. San Ramon, Danville and the canyon road run longer, and each area page says by how much.

Livermore neighborhoods

Inside Livermore

Downtown & First Street

~14 min

The old core of Livermore. Stone and brick buildings along First Street, the Bankhead Theater, restaurants that keep the sidewalk busy until ten, the civic center library a block off, and flats occupying the floors above the shopfronts. Fourteen minutes from the yard on Arroyo Road, the shortest run we make.

Local page

Jensen Tract & Fifth Street

~15 min

The older grid south of downtown — Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Streets, small bungalows put up between the twenties and the forties on narrow lots, with the garage sitting at the back of the property facing the alley. Fifteen minutes from the Arroyo Road yard.

Local page

Sunset East

~18 min

The big tract east of Holmes Street off East Avenue. Single-story ranch houses from the fifties and sixties on curved streets, attached garages facing the road, mature trees, and families that have held the same address for thirty and forty years. Eighteen minutes.

Local page

Springtown

~20 min

North-east across Arroyo Las Positas, on the streets laid out around the golf course. Single-story houses from the sixties, wide roads, deep driveways, and garages set at the front of the lot where they get the full afternoon sun. Twenty minutes.

Local page

Portola & North Livermore

~17 min

The north end of town — Portola Avenue and the streets running off it, small shops and service counters, and the ACE station on Railroad Avenue with its lot filling before daylight. Older houses on mixed lots, some with a garage tacked on and some with none at all. Seventeen minutes.

Local page

Granada & Vineyard

~21 min

The south-east quarter below East Avenue. Two-story houses from the seventies and eighties, deep driveways with an RV or a boat on the pad alongside, keyed side gates onto the back yards, and sheds at the end of most lots. Twenty-one minutes.

Local page

Windmill Springs & Tapestry

~23 min

The subdivisions on the south side below Concannon Boulevard. Houses under twenty years old, three-car garages, builder keypad deadbolts on the front, young families, and a good number of households that have never once used a front-door key. Twenty-three minutes.

Local page

Las Positas & the airport edge

~19 min

The working side of Livermore. Business park units off Las Positas Road, storage yards behind chain link, and the hangar rows at the Livermore Municipal Airport. Steel rear exits, site offices on keypads, and crews that start before the sun does. Nineteen minutes.

Across the Tri-Valley

The cities beside it

Pleasanton

~22 min

The town immediately west, reached along Stanley Boulevard or the freeway. A walkable older downtown of shopfronts and small offices, and behind it large tracts running from the seventies to the present, with attached garages, side gates and long driveways. Twenty-two minutes, priced from the same list used across Livermore.

Local page

Dublin

~26 min

North-west where the two freeways cross. The newest housing in the Tri-Valley, condominium and townhome complexes behind a rolling gate, tuck-under garages, and shopping strung along the interchange. Twenty-six minutes, and the drive is described as it is.

Local page

San Ramon

~32 min

North up the valley past Dublin. Neighborhoods where every street of a phase was laid out and built at once, and business parks strung along Bollinger Canyon Road. Thirty-two minutes, one of the two longest runs on this map, quoted as thirty-two rather than rounded down to something friendlier.

Local page

Danville

~34 min

Danville, furthest north on this map at thirty-four minutes, on the older streets off Diablo Road and the newer ones spreading south of them. It is the longest run we make and it is quoted that way, at the same prices used in Livermore.

Local page

Sunol & the canyon road

~29 min

Sunol and the canyon road, south-west down the highway from Pleasanton — a small village of old buildings, a few shops, and ranch properties spread along the creek and up the side roads. Twenty-nine minutes from the Arroyo Road yard, at the prices used everywhere else on this site.

24/7 — nights, weekends & holidays

Say which of the three doors stopped you, hear the figure, and get inside

Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol, 24/7, holidays included. The garage and its service door, the slab between the garage and the kitchen, the front door you never open, a shop unit, a car or a safe: one figure comes back with the $89 visit and the hour counted inside it. And you do not get left standing in an open doorway, because the visit ends with a key or a code that works.
