San Lorenzo, in short
What is San Lorenzo Village?
San Lorenzo Village is the planned community of single-family homes that makes up most of San Lorenzo. The San Lorenzo Village Homes Association counts 5767 single-family homes in it, and the County’s 2004 plan says one developer built them in the 1940s and 1950s. San Lorenzo is not a city, so Alameda County issues its building permits.
The story of San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo, an unincorporated community of Alameda County, most of it a planned community built in the 1940s and 1950s.
San Lorenzo grew from a town the County’s plan dates to 1854 into the planned community of the 1940s that is most of it today, built on farmland, the County’s survey says.
The County’s Eden Area General Plan says the original occupants of the Eden Area were “the Cho-chenyo-speaking Native American tribes”, and that “The primary tribes were the Ohlone or Coastanoan.”
The same plan says, “The County of Alameda was established in 1853 and the town of San Lorenzo was founded in 1854. It was located just north of San Lorenzo Creek at the intersection of Telegraph Road (now Hesperian Boulevard) and Main Street (now Lewelling Boulevard).”
The County’s 2000 survey says of the area’s farming, “Excellent soil conditions, weather, and minimal frost meant crops could be grown year round.” It adds that “Eden Township had the most orchards in the area” and that “cherry trees were particularly abundant.”
The plan describes San Lorenzo as “a small resort town that boasted two fine hotels in addition to the Grove Pavilion, which was a particularly popular regional destination for day trips.”
The Hayward Area Historical Society says, “On May 13, 1893, the line to San Lorenzo officially opened. The San Lorenzo line led to the San Lorenzo Pavilion, where people partied and picnicked on weekends.” It adds that the line “was abandoned in 1927 due to lack of patronage.”
The Oro Loma Sanitary District’s history page says that in 1911 the Board of Supervisors “voted to approve the petition of 29 civic-minded men to create a new sanitary district”, which “would include the new housing tracts and be called Oro Loma.”
The County’s 2000 survey says, “The large fields of San Lorenzo’s farms provided ample open-space for the development of much-needed housing tracts.” It tells how “David D. Bohannon, president of the Bohannon Organization, set out to build a planned model community called San Lorenzo Village on the former site of the H.T. Smyth farmstead.”
The survey says the developer “built a shopping/entertainment center complete with a movie theater (the Lorenzo Theater), restaurants, clothing stores, and a post office.” It adds, “By 1947 nearly half of the northern study area was filled with houses, schools, and commercial buildings.”
The County’s notice of April 2, 2025 says, “USPS implemented these changes in March 2025”, and that San Lorenzo is now among the communities with “the official mailing address Place Names”. The County’s page adds, “Because Castro Valley and San Lorenzo have their own Post Office branches, many addresses in Castro Valley and San Lorenzo already had current Place Names and were not affected.”

The homes of San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo’s median year built is 1955, and about two homes in three, 67.1 percent, were built in the 1940s and 1950s. About 78.3 percent are single-family houses on their own lot, detached, our own calculations from the Census Bureau’s 2020-2024 survey tables.

The story of San Lorenzo
History and character
The County’s Eden Area General Plan says the original occupants of the Eden Area were “the Cho-chenyo-speaking Native American tribes”, and that “The primary tribes were the Ohlone or Coastanoan.”
The same plan says, “The County of Alameda was established in 1853 and the town of San Lorenzo was founded in 1854. It was located just north of San Lorenzo Creek at the intersection of Telegraph Road (now Hesperian Boulevard) and Main Street (now Lewelling Boulevard).”
The County’s 2000 survey says of the area’s farming, “Excellent soil conditions, weather, and minimal frost meant crops could be grown year round.” It adds that “Eden Township had the most orchards in the area” and that “cherry trees were particularly abundant.”
The plan describes San Lorenzo as “a small resort town that boasted two fine hotels in addition to the Grove Pavilion, which was a particularly popular regional destination for day trips.”
The Hayward Area Historical Society says, “On May 13, 1893, the line to San Lorenzo officially opened. The San Lorenzo line led to the San Lorenzo Pavilion, where people partied and picnicked on weekends.” It adds that the line “was abandoned in 1927 due to lack of patronage.”
The Oro Loma Sanitary District’s history page says that in 1911 the Board of Supervisors “voted to approve the petition of 29 civic-minded men to create a new sanitary district”, which “would include the new housing tracts and be called Oro Loma.”
The County’s 2000 survey says, “The large fields of San Lorenzo’s farms provided ample open-space for the development of much-needed housing tracts.” It tells how “David D. Bohannon, president of the Bohannon Organization, set out to build a planned model community called San Lorenzo Village on the former site of the H.T. Smyth farmstead.”
The survey says the developer “built a shopping/entertainment center complete with a movie theater (the Lorenzo Theater), restaurants, clothing stores, and a post office.” It adds, “By 1947 nearly half of the northern study area was filled with houses, schools, and commercial buildings.”
The County’s notice of April 2, 2025 says, “USPS implemented these changes in March 2025”, and that San Lorenzo is now among the communities with “the official mailing address Place Names”. The County’s page adds, “Because Castro Valley and San Lorenzo have their own Post Office branches, many addresses in Castro Valley and San Lorenzo already had current Place Names and were not affected.”
San Lorenzo, roof and gutters
The County’s Eden Area General Plan, adopted in March 2010, says the San Lorenzo community “is the largest of the Eden Area communities in size and extends beyond San Lorenzo Creek on the north, to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the east, Bartlett Avenue and the Skywest Public Golf Course on the south, and the San Francisco Bay and the tidelands on the west.” Of the Eden Area as a whole the plan says, “Much of the terrain is flat or gently sloped.”
Yearly rain averages about 17.34 inches at the two nearest federal weather stations, Hayward Air Terminal (16.00 inches, 1.66 miles away) and Oakland Metro (18.68 inches, 5.82 miles away), by NOAA’s 1991-2020 normals and our own calculation, measured from the Census Bureau’s center point for San Lorenzo. November through April brings about 89 percent of the year’s rain at Hayward and 90 percent at Oakland, and June through September together bring about a third of an inch at each, our own calculation too.
The County’s tree-canopy table, which cites a vegetation map dated 4/1/2023, puts San Lorenzo’s tree canopy cover, the share of the ground the tree crowns cover when seen from above, at 12 percent, against 22 percent for unincorporated Alameda County as a whole.
Before the rains is the easy time to get leaves and other debris off a San Lorenzo roof and out of its gutters. If yours hasn’t been cleared in a while, we’d be glad to come by.
Landmarks and parks
Lorenzo Theater
The State’s list of historical resources for Alameda County has it at San Lorenzo, registered 2/10/2000, in its California Register column. The County’s directory describes “A good example of theater architecture in the Moderne Style, constructed in 1947”.
San Lorenzo Pioneer Cemetery
The Hayward Area Historical Society says the first recorded burial at the cemetery on Hesperian Boulevard and College Street was in 1854, and that it was later “officially dedicated as the San Lorenzo Pioneer Memorial Park, honoring early pioneers of the area.”
San Lorenzo Community Church
The County’s 2000 survey says it was “built as a chapel for Camp Parks, California”, moved to the Village in 1947, and “is made of three quonset huts”.

San Lorenzo questions
What San Lorenzo homeowners ask us
Where do I get a building permit for a new roof in San Lorenzo?
From Alameda County. San Lorenzo is not a city, so there is no city building department. The County’s Public Works Agency says to “Apply for building permits, submit plans, schedule inspections and check permit status through the Alameda County Permit Portal.” If you wish, we can also pull the permit for you, as most of our customers ask us to.
Can my roof downspout drain into the sewer in San Lorenzo?
No, not in the Oro Loma Sanitary District, whose service area includes San Lorenzo. The District’s posted sewer-connections ordinance says “No roof downspouts, exterior foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff, or groundwater, can be connected to any building drain, building sewer, or collector sewer that is connected directly, or indirectly, to a public sewer.” The District’s map shows whether an address is inside its service area.
I am selling a home in San Lorenzo: do I need a sewer lateral certificate?
Yes, if the home is inside the Oro Loma Sanitary District, whose pages name San Lorenzo in its service area. The District’s page says, “Effective August 1, 2026, all properties sold within the Oro Loma Sanitary District must have a valid Sewer Lateral Compliance Certificate prior to transfer of title”.
Do I need a County permit to prune or remove a tree on my own property in San Lorenzo?
Generally no, the County’s planning page says: “There are currently no countywide ordinances regulating trees on private property in unincorporated Alameda County. Generally, property owners in unincorporated Alameda County can plant, prune, and remove trees on their own property without a permit from the County.” The one private-tree rule the page names, a view-and-sunlight ordinance, is for Fairview only.
