Castro Valley remains a community that keeps a foot in its history while making the most of the present. Ranches in the canyons complement the pastoral feel of its many neighborhoods and the community comes alive for its annual rodeo. This is also a get-out-and-do-it community, making the most of its many parks and trails, and also congregating as a community for special occasions in the newly redesigned downtown. Home to one of the area's premier school districts, Castro Valley heavily supports education and the arts.

The downtown will continue to re-shape itself in response to the needs of the upcoming generation. Castro Valley will further position itself as one of the Bay Area Health Care Industry's brightest stars, drawing talent from an increasingly qualified hometown employment pool. Education will continue deepening its ties with local businesses so that students graduate prepared for college and meaningful work.
