Homes in Union City: what pros run into
The Station District is growing around the Union City BART station. Alvarado was home to an early California sugar beet factory.
Afternoon breezes off the Bay are common. Original locks in mid-century homes are often worn, and upgrading deadbolts is a common request. Most homes were built from the 1960s to the 1980s.
Winter dampness can swell wood doors, so a lock that worked in summer may stick by January. The Hayward Fault runs along the base of the hills.
Local rules to know
California licenses locksmiths through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Ask the locksmith for identification and a written estimate before work begins. Keep any receipt that lists the work done and the parts used, in case a lock or key gives trouble later.
Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park is in the hills. Your water bill comes from the Alameda County Water District, sewage is handled by Union Sanitary District, and the City of Union City Building Division issues building permits. Union Landing is a large shopping center near I-880.
