About El Dorado
Park
El Dorado Park, located between I-880 and Alameda Creek, is a residential and park-adjacent Union City neighborhood with curving suburban streets and greenbelt views. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Union Landing shopping district at Alvarado-Niles Rd and Union Landing Blvd, where patios, storefronts, and a steady flow of errands set the daily rhythm. Housing reads as late-20th-century single-family homes and townhome pockets with tidy setbacks and garage-forward facades. Alameda Creek Trail frames the edge with long, flat routes for walking and cycling. Union City Sports Center and nearby fields keep weekends oriented toward courts, laps, and open turf. Coyote Hills Regional Park adds bayland horizons and trailheads a short drive away.
