About
South
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.
