145 Orchid Ct, Hercules, CA 94547

"Events in the park and at the bay and playgrounds and great weather and beautiful scenery and nice neighbors."

"Safe, few cars, right on the Bay. Lots of parks, a pool and more. Hercules is a gem. Five minutes to the freeway."

"Very active Halloween- everyone in town floods our neighborhood. Great recreation area- dog walkers, family bike rides, very close/great access to the Bay Trail. Once a year we’ve had Food trucks on Bayfront, just a block away. We used to have a multicultural festival first week d of June and Fireworks co-hosted by Hercules and Pinole."

"There are several places to take your dog to for walks around Hercules and there is a dog park across from Home Depot and Home Depot is pet-friendly as well."

"It’s not too expensive and still relatively close to San Francisco. Good place to raise children since the homes are a good sized "

"It's a pretty place to live and very quite unless your neighbor has a barking dog. Then you need to get the HOA and Humane Society involved and it does take time before anything is resolved. Hercules has no industry except a Luckys, Home Depot, Wells Fargo, Post Office, library and various other smaller shops. You'll need to drive to Richmond (10 minute drive) for the closest Target and movie theatre. Or you can drive out to Concord/Walnut Creek. If you are single, unless you perfer to stay in most of the time, this is NOT an area you want to live in. If you don't mind driving or BARTing to SF every weekend then you'll be okay. Overall, I do like it because it is quite and clean but I seriously miss SF. I am 55 and single and it's the arts I miss the most as well as being able to walk rather than drive where I want to go."
