    "I live here. It is an incredibly beautiful valley. Nature is at its best and homes that are impeccably maintained. The community recently banded together to bring about securing the 15-acre meadow at the valley entrance and securing it at county open space forever. The valley is almost hidden from the rest of the world while it's only 1 minute from a highway 101 entrance/exit. Two excellent shopping and restaurant areas are within 1 miles. The schools are excellent. People of all ages enjoy living in Pacheco Valle. It's the best of city and country living."
