Glen Cove, on the strait shoreline, rises into hillside streets with long views over the water.
Interstate 80 and Highway 37 connect the city to Napa, Sacramento and the East Bay, and the Vallejo ferry crosses to San Francisco in roughly an hour.

Buying in Vallejo
The questions buyers ask us most about this collection.
What is it like to live near the Vallejo ferry terminal?
The ferry terminal sits on the downtown waterfront, so residents can walk to local restaurants, coffee shops and shops along the water. The boat crosses to San Francisco in about an hour, which makes it a practical option for commuters who want to avoid bridge traffic. Buyers should visit at the hour they would normally travel to see how the walk and parking work for them.
How does Mare Island differ from the rest of Vallejo?
Mare Island was the site of a Navy shipyard, and its historic buildings give the neighborhood a distinct character that is different from the older residential streets on the mainland. It is reached by the Mare Island Causeway, so buyers should map their daily route before committing. Streets and lots there can vary a great deal, so checking each property in person is worthwhile.
Is Vallejo a good place to commute to the East Bay or Sacramento?
Interstate 80 and Highway 37 give drivers access to the East Bay, Napa and Sacramento, and many residents combine driving with the ferry for trips to San Francisco. Traffic on the freeways can slow at peak hours, so the best choice depends on your workplace and schedule. Testing the drive at rush hour is a good way to judge whether the commute fits your week.
What should I look for in an older single story home in Vallejo?
Many homes in older Vallejo neighborhoods were built during the early and middle decades of the twentieth century, so buyers should ask about the age of the roof, electrical panel, plumbing and foundation. A home inspection and a sewer scope are common steps in this part of the Bay Area. Asking the seller for past permits will also help you understand any remodeling that has taken place.
What is Glen Cove like for buyers who want water views?
Glen Cove sits along the Carquinez Strait, and its hillside streets give some homes views across the water. The slope means that driveways, yards and access can differ from one street to the next. Walking the block at different times of day helps buyers judge light, traffic and how the view changes.
Who tends to buy single story homes in Vallejo?
Single level homes in Vallejo often appeal to downsizers, first-time buyers and households that prefer to avoid stairs. The city's commuter links and relatively affordable housing compared with many nearby Bay Area cities draw these buyers. Choosing a neighborhood close to downtown, the freeway or the waterfront will shape daily life more than the house itself.
