Joyce Shapiro moved to the neighborhood 50 years ago, and has seen her neighborhood grow immensely over the years. “At the time, we were the fifth house in the neighborhood and had cows literally at our bedroom window because the Hansen Ranch was next door to us,” Joyce said. The homes range in size from 1,200 to 2,200 square feet and lot sizes from 6,000 to 9,000 square feet.
“It’s a very cordial neighborhood,” Bob Shapiro said. “Good neighbors, good schools and excellent socialization within the neighborhood.” Children in Pleasanton Heights attend 48 | Pleasanton Weekly | Our Neighborhoods
