Livermore's Isabel Neighborhood: A Hub of Growth and Shea Homes' New Developments

​

Livermore, renowned for its rich wine heritage and vibrant community, is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the Isabel neighborhood. This area is transforming into a dynamic hub, blending residential, recreational, and commercial spaces, with Shea Homes playing a pivotal role in its development.

​

Isabel Neighborhood: A Vision for the Future

​

The Isabel neighborhood, already home to Livermore's Sage Community, Montage, Copper Hill & Meritage, strategically located near the I-580 corridor, is central to Livermore's expansion plans. The City of Livermore adopted the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan in 2020, aiming to add up to 4,095 new homes, with 25% designated as affordable housing, alongside 1.97 million square feet of offices, business parks, and shops.

​

This plan emphasizes sustainable development, enhanced walkability, and improved access to public transit, including the proposed Valley Link rail extension connecting the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station to the Tri-Valley region.

Shea Homes: Leading the Way with Aura and Serenity

​

Shea Homes, a prominent developer known for crafting high-quality communities, is significantly contributing to Isabel's transformation through two major projects: Aura and Serenity.
