Frequently Asked Questions

What is Livermore known for?

Originally known as Livermorès, Livermore Ranch, and Nottingham, Livermore is a thriving city in the Californian county of Alameda. It gives the lovely Livermore Valley its name as the most populated city in the Tri-Valley area. The city is led by Mayor John Marchand and is located on the eastern fringe of the San Francisco Bay Area. Just 10 miles east of the coastal foothills that encircle the Bay Area is the intriguing Livermore Valley.

What are the educational opportunities in Livermore?

The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD), which includes 11 elementary schools (K–5 and K–8), three middle schools (grades 6–8), two comprehensive high schools, and three alternative high schools, is in charge of Livermore's public schools. The five members of the LVJUSD Board of Education, who are elected to staggered four-year terms, reorganize each year by electing a board president and clerk of the board. Additionally, Livermore is home to the Hertz Foundation, which is well-known for its scholarships. The Tri-Valley Learning Corporation previously ran two charter schools, Livermore Valley Charter School (LVCS) and Livermore Valley Charter Preparatory (LVCP), which provided K–8 and high school instruction. However, due to accusations of theft, exchange student fraud, and loss of UC accreditation, both schools were in danger of closing before the 2018 academic year. At Lawrence Elementary School and Las Positas Community College Middle College, displaced pupils discovered alternate possibilities.

What are the transportation options in Livermore?

With Interstate 580 acting as the main east-west motorway connecting to the Altamont Pass and the Central Valley, Livermore is well-served by transportation routes. While Highway 84 leads southwest to Fremont, Interstate 680 is around 10 miles west of Livermore. Livermore is connected to Brentwood by Vasco Road, as is the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region. The primary airport serving the Tri-Valley region for air travel is Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK), which can accommodate private, corporate, and business aircraft. In Livermore and the surrounding districts, the WHEELS bus system provides links to the BART stations in Dublin and Pleasanton. The Altamont Corridor Express (ACE), a commuter train that runs between Stockton and the San Jose region, has two stations in the city as well, making it possible for locals and tourists to travel easily. The BART board of directors rejected a petition to expand the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) network to Livermore in May 2018. However, the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority was established with plans for new rail stations at Isabel Avenue and Greenville Road to improve transportation services. This rail connection, known as Valley Link, will connect the current BART system with the Altamont Corridor Express.

How is the cost of living in Livermore?

When compared to coastal communities like Fremont or Dublin, which are much further south, Livermore offers an appealing option for affordable living. It is located in California's Alameda County and boasts median property values that are stable in the mid-$600s and normal rent that is slightly closer to $1,800. Similar to groceries, sales tax remains unchanged at 10% however prices are slightly below US norms due primarily to local taxes and restrictions.
