A peaceful town with a growing population. Lived by middle to upper-class citizens, this rich area has mnay blue ribbon schools and financially sound companies. But there isnt much to do especially on rainy days.

Pleasanton is a "city" in the California Bay Area. It's South of San Francisco and borders Dublin and Livermore. It's a "city" but it's really just a giant suburb area.
Somehow, it manages to have nothing happen and yet have its own complete social hierarchy. Neighborhoods are glorified and kids are embarrassed when their friend lives in Ruby Hills but they don't.
Notable places in Pleasanton are the Downtown area and Stoneridge Mall. That's it.
It's a great place to live if you want to be safe and have no perception of what life is like without blue ribbon schools and a police force whose only purpose is to teach 10-year-olds not to do drugs.
Older definitions seem to say that Pleasanton Highschool sports are good. That's only really half true now. The rivalry between two of the highschools runs strong for absolutely no reason.
There's nothing wrong with the town but also it seems to never change: almost like it's frozen in progress because the people who live there are terrified of disappointment. The kids who grow up here almost always say their first priority is to leave.

Pleasanton is a nice little town outside of San Fransico. Pleasanton is where the upper class people live, but they aren't as rich as those snobby people in Danville. Main Street was preserved very well (much better than Livermore).
Pleasanton has a wonderful family atmosphere, which can sometimes be annoying. Pleasanton revolves around family. There's so much to do if you have a family or in one. Parks are around almost every corner and shopping places.
Everything is so very clean. Don't ask me why.
Pleasanton is also better than Livermore because Pleasanton has its own mall and the highschoolers there don't smoke pot and other drugs and are gangsters like Livermore. Most of the teenagers are preps or sluts. Goths and punks are not as common as preps or sluts, but they're around. The schools have large metal cages around the windows, which give the school a more prison feel. Soda machines and candy machines, in most schools, have been taken away do to frequent sugar highs.

Pleasanton is WAY better than Livermore and Danville (aka Evilland) combinded!

A bitch ass town of a bunch of rich white bitches trying to act "gangsta." Officially the stupidest town ever. 3 tpyes of kids in Pleasanton: Type 1- Rich bitches trying to act ghetto and when these assholes get themselves killed because they did something stupid people actually care. Type 2- Dumbass emo bitches that wet themselves to MSI songs. Type 3- By far a vast minority are those with a mild amount of common sense.
Pleasanton- Whigger and loser capital of America.
Wow... this supid emo bitch is probably from Pleasanton.

A nice little suburb of Oakland. Mainly families. These are the types of kids
Jocks: Usually get pretty good grades. Come from upper middle class families. Usually live in Parkside, sometimes Valley Trails, the Preserve Laguna Oaks or the area by Donlon.
Gamers: Usually really fat kids that think their funny. Can live anywhere. Spend their life with videogames, usually have youtube channels. Usually start out playing pokemon then skylanders then minecraft.
Skaters: Mostly popular kids that do drugs and brag a lot. Pretty fun people to hangout with. They will often do the dumbest shit you can think of. Can live anywhere but many of them live by Lydiksen, PMS, Foothill, or the neighborhood by Val Vista.
Richass's: Annoying kids that have little to know friend's that think their the shit. Live in Laguna Oaks, Golden Eagle, Castlewood, The Preserve, or Ruby Hills.

A small town in the bad ass, slightly backwards state of Texas. South of San Antonio, it is where all the "gangsters" who get kicked out of Bear County go to. There is a high percentage of Zombies, Vampires and Werewolves compared to the normal population in this town.

Pleasanton is a bland, boring upper-middle class suburb, where everyone lives in ludicrous McMansions, drives luxury European cars, and the kids have 5,000 extracurricular activities. Everything is very clean. The town mall, Stoneridge, had a reputation in the 90's for being the most upscale mall for miles. The sun is always shining (literally).
In other words, Pleasanton is Stepford, Bay Area-style. You may never again see such a high concentration of Stepford-ness in California (right down to voting Republican!).
Perhaps the only difference from Stepford-land is the diversity. Pleasanton was a haven for rich, Republican WASPs in the 80's and 90's. Now the town is dominated by Jewish, East Asian and Indian millionaires.

Foothill High Kid: I wanted to organize a charity event with the kids over in Oakland, but when I emailed our principal about it, the whole administration reacted in horror.
Foothill High Mom: I would hope so. We would never allow you to mix with kids from Oakland and I'm glad the school understands that!
Foothill High Kid: Mom, you sound like all the other Stepford wives in Pleasanton, CA.
(based on a true story. Yes, really.)
