California's fastest-growing city is now majority Asian
San Francisco Chronicle / July 6, 2023
The Asian population is growing across the country, and three cities in the Bay Area’s Tri-Valley have some of the fastest-growing Asian communities.
Dublin, Pleasanton and San Ramon were among the top 10 largest cities, with at least 30% of their population identifying as Asian, that had the highest growth since 2010, an analysis of census data shows.
Dublin is the fastest growing city in California overall and its Asian population is fueling that growth. In the last decade, the suburban city’s Asian population grew from about 12,000 in 2010 to nearly 39,000 in 2020 — a 219% increase, according to census data. The Asian populations in Pleasanton and San Ramon — two other Tri-Valley area cities — grew by 94% and 68%, respectively, during the same 10-year period.
The Tri-Valley has had an infusion of new residents who are seeking better housing opportunities and school districts, said Steve Minniear, a volunteer city historian in Dublin.

According to the link, Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore are the places that tend to have housing options young families are looking for -- bigger houses with room for kids and/or parents.

and some more outside the bay.
i.e. Lafayette/Moraga/Orinda.
Walnut Creek also works (esp. since my folks own two homes there, and is where I went to High School 
) but if I had my druthers ... I'm all about Orinda, man.
Lived there as a kid (76-79) and I still just love it. I drive around my old haunts almost every time I go home to visit my folks and just still always go ... this town is freaking amazing!
Prices are ridiculous but it is so gorgeous, with a cool history. Basically it was where wealthy people from SF and Oakland built their vacation homes/ranches in the 1920's-1940's. It was 'far flung' back then. So there's a lot of large, custom, beautifully maintained homes from that era (many are Spanish hacienda/ranchero styled), and even the newer ones tend to be really tastefully done, nestled among the prodigious oak trees that basically cover the hilly environs of the town.
It's like FairyLand I swear
The zip as a whole is mostly Rossmoor though.
The part of that zip I really love is the Newell Rd/Lilac Avenue area, just southwest of Kaiser Hospital.
It's really beautiful back there, lots of tree canopies arching over the streets, and very nicely kept homes, mostly from the 50's-70's vintage
