Tracy Real Estate

Sixty miles east of San Francisco in the Northern San Joaquin Valley, at the intersection of three Interstate freeways is the town of Tracy, once one of the Valley's best kept secrets. Founded in 1878, Tracy began as a small railroad and agricultural town. Today, Tracy has blossomed into a thriving industrial, commercial and residential community offering its 75,000 (2005) residents affordable Tracy real estate, a low crime rate, a Mediterranean climate, and easy access to a diversity of recreational opportunities.

Surrounded by farmlands, orchards and ranches, this family-oriented community offers modern amenities and a commitment to education that's as impressive as it is proactive. New schools are being built as needed and include magnet schools specializing in music education, science, engineering, and agricultural sciences. Elementary and middle schools offer gifted and talented programs along with special education programs. Tracy is also close to several four-year universities, in addition to trade and technical schools.

Tracy's Downtown District, comprised of restaurants, retailers and service-oriented businesses is a bustling, pedestrian-friendly community all in itself with a year-round calendar of special events, including farmers' markets and the annual Dry Bean Festival.

Family diversions in and around Tracy include the Altamont Raceway, Carnegie Cycle Park, several golf courses, museums, acres of parks, and major and minor league sports. Tracy's central location also makes it easy to plan day trips to northern California's major attractions stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Sierra Mountains.
