Downtown Livermore — Arts, Entertainment & an Affordable Housing Milestone

active• livermore

Downtown Livermore is one of the East Bay's genuine success stories — a walkable, wine-country-adjacent urban village with a performing arts center, independent restaurants, and a farmers' market that has defied the post-pandemic retail collapse affecting neighboring downtowns. The city is now adding affordable housing in the heart of the district: the City Council approved the Final Parcel Map for the Livermore Village site at the southeast corner of South L Street and Railroad Avenue — a 130-unit affordable residential development by Eden Housing — with associated improvements including storm drains, emergency vehicle access, pedestrian paths, trees, sidewalk repairs, lighting, sewer, and utilities. The Council is simultaneously exploring a micro food hall concept for downtown, continuing to strengthen the culinary and cultural identity that distinguishes Livermore from other Tri-Valley cities. The General Plan 2045's economic development element reaffirms downtown as the city's primary placemaking priority.
