History

San Leandro made its name in the early 1900s for its abundant cherry harvests — a legacy the city still honors with an annual festival each June. Some of its oldest landmarks sit at the corner of Estudillo Avenue and Hays Street, including the Little Brown Church, built in 1867, and the San Leandro History Museum, both reminders of just how deep the city's roots run.

Neighborhoods

San Leandro's character shifts block by block. Estudillo Estates is prized for its tree-lined streets and architectural variety — Tudor, Spanish Revival, and Craftsman homes sit close to downtown. Bay-O-Vista offers a more suburban feel with mid-century homes and sweeping views of both the Bay and the San Leandro Hills. And Marina Faire, near the San Leandro Marina, gives residents a genuinely coastal lifestyle with waterfront access most East Bay towns can't offer.

Downtown, Marina & Parks

Old San Leandro anchors the city's downtown with café patios, local bistros, and the historic Bal Theatre, which still hosts performances and events today. Down at the water, Marina Park offers playgrounds and walking paths along the Bay, while Lake Chabot Regional Park gives residents miles of hiking and biking trails, fishing, and picnic areas just minutes from home — with 21 public parks citywide, there's rarely a shortage of places to spend a weekend outdoors.
