Pleasant Hills is a popular suburb for new home buyers with everything from “first home” to “dream home” to “retirement home” in its housing stock. Pleasant Hills enjoys a slow, but steady growth coupled with a low turnover in residential housing. Enjoy great schools, public works, and emergency services. Pleasant Hills is a perfect mix of residential single family, low and high rise apartments, as well as commercial shopping centers and offices. Children who grew up in Pleasant Hills often return, if circumstances permit, to raise their families in the same supportive community atmosphere they enjoyed. Each year, the community celebrates their community life with Pleasant Hills Community Day in late August. The day kicks off with a hometown parade followed by great food, family, fun and games, entertainment, and a great fireworks grand finale!
