Jensen Tract and Amador Estates residents simply rave about their neighborhood for many reasons, including how close they are to local hotspots along with the quality and proximity of the schools.
Rachel Lambros and her family have lived in Jensen Tract for 22 years, and she finds herself simply “obsessed” with the neighborhood.
“Growing up in Jensen Tract was a dream,” Lambros said. “We had a ton of neighbors with kids my age, and many of them I am still friends with. It wasn’t uncommon to drive down our street and find yourself in the middle of balloon fights or block parties in the summer.” The neighborhoods are defined by the schools, literally and figuratively. Children in the area attend Alisal Elementary, Harvest Park Middle and Amador Valley High, which are all within walking distance. Alisal Elementary is used as the dividing line between Jensen Tract and Amador Estates, with homes on the south side of the school in the Jensen Tract and homes to the north in Amador Estates.
The Jensen Tract neighborhood was named for its developer, Jensen Homes. It was originally made up of single-level ranch style houses, but now includes some two-story homes, showing homeowners’ need for more room but desire to stay in the area. The Jensen houses range between 1,100 and 2,000 square feet.
Steve Busch and his family have lived in the Jensen Tract area since 1990, and after nearly 30 years they still enjoy the convenience the area has to offer its residents. “We were initially drawn to this area for its closeness to Downtown Pleasanton and the walking distance of great schools, from preschool through high school.” Busch said. “Our cozy Pleasanton neighborhood has been a fabulous place to raise our three boys!”
The Amador Estates neighborhood was built by Devmar Homes between 1960 and 1970 and is filled with mostly single-story homes ranging from approximately 1,050 to 1,700 square feet. Residents of all ages have a plethora of places to play close to these neighborhoods, including Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center. With over 23 acres, Amador Valley Community Park is just across the street and features a barbeque pit, picnic tables, horseshoes, tot play areas and very large fields for many different sports. Also, the back of Alisal Elementary School is open to the public during non-school hours, and many sporting events and practices are held there. The neighborhoods are only a few blocks from vibrant downtown Pleasanton with its shops and dining options, and close to the local post office, a grocery store and other retail. “This is the perfect place, and a wonderful area for families and their children to be so close to schools and walking distance to the downtown area,” said local Realtor Kris Moxley. “It’s a neighborhood that homeowners don’t want to move from,” Moxley added.
“We love living so close (to downtown) and take advantage of it every week by walking downtown to dine, shop, or go to the farmer’s market,” said resident Michelle Sherin. She and Jensen Tract & Amador Estates

her husband, Dave, bought their home in the Jensen Tract about nine years ago with Kris Moxley.
“We especially love walking our basset hounds downtown and meeting all kinds of people, who of course have to pet the dogs,” Michelle said.
