City of LIvermore
Show moreSurrounded by rolling hillsides and rich vineyards, yet located only 50 miles east of San Francisco, Livermore is the epitome of California living with its urban amenities and relaxed lifestyles. Founded in 1869, Livermore is now home to a diverse population of 80,723. This progressive community has become the cornerstone of the Tri-Valley area and takes great pride in its outstanding school system, low crime rate, peaceful neighborhoods with homes in a variety of price ranges, and use of open space. Today, with vintage main streets, elegant restaurants, world-class wineries, and diverse housing opportunities, Livermore retains the charm of a smaller city with the cultural benefits usually reserved for communities much larger in size. Its character, heritage, and smart growth have made Livermore a great place to live, work, and play.
