Dublin has long been known as the “crossroads” of the Bay Area. Dublin now sits at the crossroads of two major highways: Interstate 580 and Interstate 680. However, the significance of the “crossroads” dates back over two hundred years when Dublin served as the crossroads of two important stage routes – one from the Bay Area to Stockton and the other from Martinez to San Jose. The Almamilla Spring, located in the Dublin area, provided a place for travelers to change horses and freshen up before continuing their journey.

During the past twenty years, the rapidly expanding Tri-Valley area has become renowned as a place of prosperity, a center for internationally acclaimed business parks and home to some of the world’s largest corporations. The City has contributed to the planned growth and forward thinking of the area. Quality of life continues to be enhanced with many planned family activities in the area, especially at Emerald Glen Park in East Dublin. The park is near much of the new construction that Dublin has experienced over the past 5 years, Dublin Ranch being the largest development in the east side of Dublin.

Needless to say, this thriving crossroads city has real estate which many say is highly under-valued. In May of 2007 median home price in Dublin was $829,000 up 4% from May 2006. There were 31 home sales, the average price being $919,658. There is a variety of neighborhoods and price ranges in this thriving city, but you need a local market expert to help you.
