Rare infill residential development opportunity in Castro Valley’s highly desirable Parsons Estates neighborhood. ±1.58 acre site with previously approved tentative map approval for four premium single family residential lots. Proposed lot sizes ranging from approximately 14,000–18,000 sq ft support a differentiated, larger home product in a supply constrained submarket with strong end user demand. The project offers the opportunity to develop 3,000+ sq ft homes with potential ADU/JADU configurations (buyer to verify), enhancing flexibility and overall project economics. The property may also present additional long term SB9 optionality, offering alternative development pathways subject to buyer verification and County approval. Nearby larger homes and strong local demand support an attractive end product strategy. Strategically located with convenient access to I-580, I-680, BART, Silicon Valley, Oakland, and San Francisco, positioning the site well for commuter oriented buyers seeking premium suburban housing.

Castro Valley Hills, located between Lake Chabot Regional Park and the Castro Valley BART station, is a hillside and residential Castro Valley neighborhood with winding ridge roads and broad East Bay views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Redwood Road and Castro Valley Boulevard corridor, where independent eateries, small markets, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and contemporary rebuilds share steep lots, decks, and terraced gardens. Trailheads and oak-lined streets shape an outdoors-forward routine. Chabot Cinema anchors movie nights, while The Bistro and Paradiso Restaurant keep the dining scene distinctly local. Commutes and weekend plans often pivot between BART, the park, and the hills’ quieter cul-de-sacs.
