Homes in Pleasanton
The residential streets around downtown Pleasanton hold Victorians and bungalows from the town's farming years. Almost everything else arrived later. The population grew from about 4,200 in 1960 to more than 35,000 in 1980, and established neighborhoods such as Pleasanton Valley are made up of conventional suburban houses. Tract houses of those decades usually have attached garages and attics, and many are two stories.
Elsewhere the homes get bigger. Kottinger Ranch is a hillside community with views, and Ruby Hill is a gated neighborhood of luxury homes around a golf club. Castlewood Country Club occupies the former estate of Phoebe Hearst. Larger properties like these often have pools, pool houses and guest quarters.
Pleasanton incorporated in 1894 as a farming and ranching town on the railroad. After the war it became a bedroom community, and the Hacienda Business Park brought a business boom in the 1980s.
What that means for your Wi-Fi
Big custom homes with pools and guest houses
A large house in Ruby Hill or Kottinger Ranch may need six or more access points indoors and out. We wire them to a small rack, and connect the pool house by buried cable.
Two-story tract homes with a weak upstairs
When the router sits downstairs by the television, upstairs bedrooms and offices lag. We run cable through the attic to ceiling access points upstairs and wire one on the ground floor too.
Downtown cottages with no modern wiring
Older houses near Main Street were built long before data cable. We route Cat6 through the crawl space and attic, and keep visible hardware small so it does not fight the house.

Questions about Wi-Fi in Pleasanton
Can you connect a pool house on a Ruby Hill property?
Yes. Larger properties here often have pools, pool houses and guest quarters, and the main router will not reach them. We connect the pool house by buried cable and wire every access point back to a small rack in the house.
Why is the upstairs Wi-Fi weak in my Pleasanton tract home?
Because the router is usually downstairs by the television, and upstairs bedrooms and offices lag. Tract houses of those decades usually have attics, so we run cable through one to ceiling access points upstairs and wire another on the ground floor.
Can an old house near downtown Pleasanton be wired neatly?
Usually, yes. Older houses near Main Street were built long before data cable, so everything is new work. We route Cat6 through the crawl space and attic where they exist, and keep visible hardware small so it suits the house.
