Tracy Overview

Talk to people who live in Tracy, whether newcomers or longtime residents, and you'll hear over and over again that it's an up-to-date suburb with an old town feel. Although most of the young professional families in this diverse city of 90,319  are homeowners, the latest real estate data shows 38% of the population live in rental apartments. While close to the San Francisco Bay Area, it remains untouched by the high cost of living that has made housing out of reach within San Francisco itself.

What is the history of Tracy?

Tracy can thank the frenzied era of railroad building in California for its existence, and agriculture for its early growth. When  construction of a new rail line was started in 1878, to connect Oakland to the recently completed Central Pacific Railroad which ran from Sacramento to San Francisco via Stockton and over the Altamont Pass, planners sought  a flatter, more efficient route. The point at which these two lines met soon grew into a town, named for Tracy J. Ellis, a railroad director. Incorporated in 1910, the city rapidly expanded when the first irrigation district was established in 1915, transforming the arid lands around it into fertile fields for farming. Like the rest of San Joaquin Valley, Tracy flourished as an agricultural area.  Today, its town seal reflects its dual history of railroads and agriculture.

How is the weather in Tracy?

A popular information site places Tracy at the 8.3 mark on a climate comfort level index of 10. Mild winters prevail with December and January  bringin the most rain. Like the rest of northern California's inland regions, summers, stretching from July through August, tend to be hot. The most peasurable months are May and June when the hills turn green before the dry summer season sets in.

How do I get around town?

Although Tracy has a walk score of 42 and a biking score of 44, driving is your best option for getting around. However, the city does offer a basic level of public transportation. Tracer Bus Line provides service from most neighborhoods to Downtown Tracy, as well as to a nearby mall and outlet center. Buses run 7AM to 8PM Monday through Friday, and 8AM to 7PM Saturday. There is no Sunday service. Tracer also offers paratransit for seniors over 65 and ADA/Medicare passengers. Connections to other San Joaquin County cities can be made at the Tracy Transit Center which is accessible by San Joaquin Regional Transit District Buses. Privately owned taxis also service the area. Oakland international Airport is the closest major airport, 46 miles away, followed by San Jose International and San Francisco International, 60 and 64 miles away, respectively. Stockton Metro Airport, at  a distance of 18 miles, provides commuter and connector flights. 

What is the Tracy commute like?

Although elected officials have been talking about building a better link to BART, until that becomes a reality,the majority of Tracy commuters spend an average of 46.7 hours a week driving to their places of employment. And although it's not the worst in the East Bay area, the average one way commute takes 43.5 minutes. 74% of drivers elect to travel alone while 16.2 carpool, most heading to the East Bay, South Bay, and San Francisco area.  I-205 which has four exits serving Gilroy, offers the best way  to connect to I-580 west for the commute to cities like Oakland, Fremont, and Milpitas. Those working in the Sacramento area are able to get there via I-205 to I-5 North. Rush hour in Tracy, like the rest of the greater Bay Area starts before dawn and lasts late into the evening, which is why many people telecommute a few days a week or make arrangements with their employer to stagger their in-office work hours.

What are the local media outlets?

Although Tracy residents, like most of t he country, turn to major national channels for their news, and premium Cable and streaming services for entertainment, the city is served by local stations: KOVR CBS 13 and KQCA Hearst Television MY 58 broadcast from Stockton, and Sacramento Stations NBC Channel 3 KRCA,  ABC News station  Channel 10 KXTV, CBS CW31 KMAX, and Fox40 KTXL originate in Sacramento. Since the Bay area is rich in broadcast radio frequencies, Tracy has access to 83 radio stations with formats of every sort including news, top40, hip hop, classic rock, sports, talk, business, as well as Spanish and Asian stations. Those who prefer to read their news look to the Sacramento Bee, Oakland Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Examiner , San Jose Mercury News, and for uber-local news - the weekly Tracy Press, serving the city since 1893.

Why live in Tracy, CA?

Reasons residents give for moving to Tracy include its diversity, mild winters, and relatively low housing prices. Although the commute to work may be long, houses with a median price of $378,900 and apartments with a median monthly rent of $1,603 make it worthwhile. Once they settle  in, they find it's a friendly city with a suburban feel, where downtown merchants they frequent soon call them by name. It's a young city with a median age of 33, many of whom are parents drawn here by the above-average Tracy public schools. Singles like the fact that there are several hip coffee shops as well as area parks for hiking and biking, and a plethora of one-of-a-kind restaurants serving both ethnic and all-American meals.

What Tracy landmarks should I see?

Although it can be maddingly crowded during commute times, a weekend trip along the Altamont Pass Road through the Diablo Mountain Range offers views of The Altamont Wind Farm, one of the earliest wind turbine collectives in the country, dating back to the early 1980s. Another landmark in Tracy is the West Valley Mall, located directly off I-205 and home to major department stores, specialty shops, and a multiplex movie theater. Also worthy of mention is the Tracy campus of Notre Dame de Namur, an institute of higher learning, dating back to 1868, that added a campus in Tracy in 2015 to its other locations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

What is there to do around Tracy?

Tracy has things to do geared to appeal to all interests. Shoppers enamored  by brand name labels flock to The Tracy Outlet Center open seven days a week. Wine connoiseurs can taste the latest vintages at Windmill Ridge Winery. And those seeking off-road thrills can find them at Carnegie State Off-road Vehicular Recreation Area. Not last , and not least among things to do In Tracy are the wide variety of concerts and plays at the Grand Theater for the Performin Arts.

Any annual festivals or Tracy events to know?

One of the most anticipaed events of the year is the annual Brews, Blues, and BBQ Festival held each September in the Downtown Plaza, featuring a home brew contest, rib cook-off, and some of the best blues in the country . And a new festival was added to the Tracy events calendar in September 2019, the One World Cultural Festival, held in Lincoln park, featuring dance, fashions, food, and music from countries all over the world as well as food, beer, and wine.

Lake Tahoe with casinos, ski areas, and sparkling waters is but 114 miles to the northeast. Face southwest and only 62 miles seeparates you from the boardwalk and surf of Santa Cruz . In the mood for a healthy peaceful weekend? Head northwest to Calsitoga for a mud bath coupled with spa treatments of all types topped off with time in the sauna. And while you're there, don't forget the wine tours in Sonoma and Napa.

Although the commute  times are long, the median price sale price of a house, $379,700  and median apartment rent, $1,603 are both but a fraction of what you'd pay closer to the major places of employment. Neighborhoods are diverse and welcoming, with homes that show pride of ownerhips.Those looking for apartments in Tracy have their pick within this triangle.
