Local Expertise

Two neighborhoods, two stories.

Pleasant Hill isn't one market — every pocket has its own character, buyer pool, and pricing rhythm. Here's how I think about each.

Gregory Gardens

Mid-century ranches, mature trees, original bones.

Gregory Gardens is where buyers go when they want single-story living on flatter lots with a bit of elbow room. Most of the housing stock dates to the late 1950s — classic ranch floor plans, many still with their original layouts waiting for the right remodel.

Proximity to Gregory Gardens Elementary, the Iron Horse Trail, and Pleasant Hill Park keeps family demand steady. Inventory here moves quickly for anything that's been thoughtfully updated.

  • Typical Lot6,000–8,500 SF
  • Common Size3BR / 1,200–1,800 SF
  • Buyer ProfileGrowing families, move-up buyers
  • Price Range$900K – $1.4M
Poets Corner

Streets named after poets. Homes with character.

Poets Corner sits centrally in Pleasant Hill — Whittier, Longfellow, Emerson, Wordsworth — with a mix of original ranches and homes that have been expanded thoughtfully over the years. More architectural variety than most Pleasant Hill neighborhoods.

Walkable to downtown Pleasant Hill, strong school options, and the community events that show up on Crescent Avenue every year. Buyers here often know they want Poets Corner specifically.

  • Typical Lot7,000–10,000 SF
  • Common Size3–4BR / 1,400–2,400 SF
  • Buyer ProfileMove-up buyers, relocating professionals
  • Price Range$950K – $1.6M
In Their Words

What clients say.

“Jessica was on it from day one. She gave us a real strategy, not a sales pitch — priced the house right, staged beautifully, and sold above asking in under two weeks.”

Pleasant Hill Seller • 2025

“We felt like we were her only clients. Every question got a thoughtful answer, every decision came with her honest recommendation. We trusted her completely.”
