About this home
Close to the heart of Castro Valley but tucked along a quieter stretch of Rizzo Avenue, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a great mix of convenience, space and privacy. Inside, you’ll find an updated kitchen and bathroom, dual-pane windows, great natural light and an attached workspace. Solar and EV charging are already in place. The lot is one of the home’s best features, with a large front yard, backyard and side yard, giving you plenty of room to garden, entertain or create something of your own. The side yard opens for vehicle access and offer space for a carport. There may also be potential for an ADU in the front while keeping the backyard intact. Walk to downtown shops, restaurants, the farmers market and local events, with BART and freeway access nearby. Easily one of the cutest homes in the neighborhood! SEE IT THIS WEEKEND SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 2-4PM
South, located between Lake Chabot Regional Park and the Castro Valley BART station, is a residential and hillside Castro Valley neighborhood with winding streets and bay-facing views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Castro Valley Boulevard and Redwood Road junction, where independent cafes, taquerias, and small storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. Architectural lines lean mid-century ranches and split-level homes, with pockets of newer infill along busier corridors. Lake Chabot’s trails and shoreline pull daily routines outdoors, while the BART station anchors commutes toward Oakland and San Francisco. Community touchstones include the Chabot Cinema, the Castro Valley Marketplace, and the Castro Valley Arts Foundation’s gallery and events. Terrain shifts from flatter blocks near the boulevard to steeper, tree-lined slopes toward the park.
