Dublin is located in Amador Valley of Alameda County’s Tri-Valley region, along the north side of Interstate 580 at the intersection with Interstate 680, roughly 35 miles east of downtown San Francisco, 23 miles east of downtown Oakland, and 31 miles north of downtown San Jose. It was referred to as “Dublin” in reference to the city of Dublin, Ireland, because of the large number of Irish who lived there.  In 2019, census data showed Dublin as one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.  

Wallis Ranch is a subdivision developed by Trumark Communities with approximately 816 units which opened its first phase in September 2016. Trumark divided the project into eight neighborhoods, selling seven of them to other homebuilders including Warmington Residential, PulteGroup, Taylor Morrison, KB Home and D.R. Horton. Tassajara Hills is another subdivision built by Toll Brothers, approximately 370 detached homes.   Once the building of homes is finished in East Dublin, the city will have a capacity for over 75,000 citizens.

Dublin has undergone significant remodeling and expansion, with almost every shopping center in Dublin being remodeled while new shopping centers continued to be built. The annual Saint Patrick’s Day celebration includes a 5K Fun Run and Walk, a pancake breakfast, a two-day festival, and a parade. The parade is popular with residents and visitors from outside Dublin alike and has been growing in popularity each year.
