A preppy town in the east bay area. Known for nice schools, people who can AFFORD drugs, Stoneridge mall, and upscale neighborhoods. Where the only way police make money is giving tickets to soccer moms in Escalades.

Pleasanton's in the valley, so in the summer, its 100 degrees, and in the winter, its 35.

They're preppier than Livermore, but not as preppy as Danville. Its pretty much an essential to make friends with kids from fremont.

And it surprises everyone that even though most the kids are white, they win hella sports anyway.

Its the perfect place to raise a family. But then again, alot of the parents are never home anyways.

The riches neighborhoods in Pleasanton are Ruby Hills, Castlewood, Golden Eagle, and Black Hawk. But there are also random private estates and low to mid million homes in The Preserve, Moller Ranch, and Ironwood.

The teachers kill to work there, but then regret it cause pretty much all of the family moved there for higher test scores. Some end up quitting because of pressure and complaints.

Its so much harder to find friends if you're knew in Pleasanton, than pretty much any other town in the bay area. Alot of the people were raised judgemental.

Downtown pleasanton, one of the thousand parks here, and Stoneridge mall are basically the only places to hang.

Pleasanton girls are hard to get at, because theyre picky with their men.

Commonly perceived as completely boring, but Pleasanton parties are the best parties. Why? People can afford the crack and Jack Daniels.

Briefly, "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own." Originally from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, which has a lot more beautiful neologism definitions like this you might enjoy.

Pleasanton is a strange mix of California-style suburban ennui, Silicon Valley northern satellite architecture, well-preserved older homes and buildings, and good schools.

Their high school football teams are noted for racking up impressive records against whitebread competition during the regular season, then getting the crap kicked out of them in the playoffs by toughass rednecks from schools like Oakdale in the Central Valley.

Dean's Cafe downtown is the total worldwide omelette dominator. Best place on the planet for omelettes. The end.

Overall Pleasanton is pretty darn pleasant, but it's got kind of an otherworldly, Potemkin village feel to it that's hard to qualify precisely. It's weird that way.

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.

okay. all you gayass people who write the bad definitions:

1. your probably from livermore, dublin, or danville. that explains it.

2. sorry. our school teams kick your asses. thats why we wear the jackets. rep.
3. prep/slut/jock/dumbfuck/goth/scene whatever. all towns have them.

4. just because we can afford nicer things than you. dont call us rich white gay preps. get over it.

5. oh. and "notapleasantonfag" or whatever; you probbly live in livermore/dublin/any-non ptown place.;)
cant wait for next season when our schools kick your asses(:

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 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.
