I've been here for Rigatoni's, Bank of the West (Now BMO), Health Unlimited, and iSushi. On the other side was a Safeway, Ross, Castro Valley Bowl along with other businesses. This place is usually pretty busy, lots of different types of businesses here!!

Lots of parking available right now. Usually it's packed. *this was written in the moment of a…read moreprevious check-in. Update: after coming to the Village Shopping Center additional times since my above comment had been notarized, there are days or perhaps certain times of the day where the parking lot appears empty and it is easy to find parking, while on the majority of times / days I have been - they are usually packed with hardly any parking avail. Sometimes I have been lucky to snag a spot where someone was just about to back out. The spaces are kind of tight and narrow pathways, drive slowly! There are a lot of businesses that have remained here since I was a child and student at CVHS. Lots of new fronts and name changes to others. I haven't taken a stroll around the entire center, but there's a drug store, ice cream parlor, discounted home goods, apparel stores, fitness businesses, specialty goods and boutiques, bakeries, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, the bowling alley is still here, nail salons, juicers, and more. Since its the holiday time, they had a tree lighting ceremony advertised. I thought that was a nice community event that might bring people and families together, though I questioned where the tree was going to be due to the tight space. I would want this center to continue to have a lot of business - good businesses here. I want to see CV's downtown area become an area that I would like to frequent or go to vs. driving to Danville or Walnut Creek or San Ramon. I hope there would be ways to create more parking around the area while increasing the businesses or being strategic in which new businesses should open to create a thriving atmosphere.

Safeway, a gym, some restaurants... up on the hill - exclusive to CV hill residents is this…read moreshopping center. Blessed are the people who live near this shopping center. Its unusual to have peace and quiet of a remote location and also convenience of various businesses. The biggest problem with living in the Hayward hills is how it takes 20 minutes to get almost anywhere. Its seriously a problem and not exaggerated at all. Nothing up in the Hayward hills - except houses - and sure they are nice ones... but nothing else of interest nearby. A view is the only selling point. And its fascinating to think some people in the Hayward hills live without a view and with all the inconvenience that is Hayward hills living. The direct neighbors here enjoy a Chinese fast food, a bank, and a supermarket - among other places. Its a good mix with a little of everything. I find myself going to the Safeway here often as it is only 1.6 miles from my home. I pass exactly 2 other Safeways and its worth it as the Hayward Safeway and CVB/RRR Safeway are always hectic. This is the Safeway I go to when I'm not in the mood for Safeway but have to go to Safeway for some reason or another. To tell you the truth I don't ever get in the mood to go to Safeway... the crazy coupons and long lines and pricing games don't appeal to me all that much - reason why I'm a WF TJ fan. Shopping is really something I don't enjoy - with the exception of maybe car shopping... that can be fun... And some sleezy guy in a polyester suit won't ruin that for me. I won't. I can't. Don't talk such nonsense. I'd say the only negative aspect of this shopping is the parking lot. Often I find myself lost, dazed, confused.... and looking for an exit. I'd say its designed like some maze or casino your not allowed to leave until you've lost all your money. Casinos design their floorplans like that on purpose. This place I don't know what the deal is... Easy to get in. Impossible to find your way out. I gurantee you will be circling a few times wondering whats going on. And I doubt its not just me. Round and round you go. Your going to find everything except the exit when you need it. To tell you the truth I mostly go to upscale supermarkets. I'm very needy when it comes to grocery shopping. I need a team of people guiding me and helping me find stuff. Safeway just doesn't have that level of help. If you live in downtown Hayward come here for the Safeway. Its a short five minute drive. And you've been warned about that parking lot.They should put signs up or something so you can find your car.

This shopping center seems to have three separate Yelp profiles depending on address so I am adding…read morethis review to all three to make sure it's covered. This is a solid shopping center in the downtown area. I'm attempting to review all of the places in the center and almost forgot to review the center itself! There is a nice selection of food, services and shopping here. There is a Walgreens for your home and personal needs, including prescriptions. My only complaint about the center is that the parking is less than desirable. It's always a waiting game no matter when I go. I usually ah e to park and walk a little bit to get to my desired location. All in all, this is a nice little shopping area for our town. I'd be even happier if things stayed open later but as long as a double check hours before going, I am usually good to go.

The Jackson Square Shopping Center is major shopping center in the City of Hayward, CA. It's very…read moreclose to the I-880 & CA Route 92 interchange. Drivers heading eastbound who continue on Route 92 will pass by Jackson Square as Rt 92 becomes West Jackson Street in Hayward. I have worked in the Hayward area for over 25 years, and Jackson Square has a nice location. It's near the freeway ramps, it's down the street from the Courthouse and County Offices, It's near the DMV, and it's located near apartments and residential areas. I was just there yesterday, taking a break before getting on the San Mateo Bridge. West Jackson becomes Route 92, which takes you to the bridge. So lots of traffic passes by here. The anchor store is the Safeway, along with a CVS and 24-hour Fitness. Attention getting brands such as Starbucks, Taco Bell, Fire Wings, Round Table Pizza, Chase Bank, and a Baskin-Robbins are also tenants. Although Jackson Square is on Jackson Street, it's easier to enter and exit on Amador Street. Plenty of parking in off street lot. How could it be better? Maybe add a few more restaurants or cafes. Support Local Business!

Grove Way Plaza is easily missed as Quick Stop gas station is in front of it and blocks visibility…read morefrom the main road. Next door is McDonalds and then another gas station Aarco. Current tenants are Castro Valley Fitness, J. Scott Canada Chiropractic, Stonefly, Health Worthy Chiropractic, Vanity Unveiled Salon, Stonefly - in a second location and Jefferson's Landscape and Design. Management phone number is listed on the sign up front and is currently 510 415 8993. These tenants are all very specific and unique. No chains and they all appear to be smaller locally owned and operated businesses. The driveway to the Plaza is shared with the Quick Stop gas station. Its the cheapest gas station in town and bargain hunters can sometimes line up and block the driveway on both sides. The parking spots up front for patrons here can be impossible to use if people in the gas station are waiting for their turn.

A pretty small shopping center and parking lot on Foothill in Hayward!!…read more Safeway is the biggest store here, other than the large office building also located here. There's also a Fed Ex and Quiznos here. Most people park in the lot near Safeway, but there is another parking lot here near the smaller businesses, so I guess it's not really that small. A decent shopping center!!

Parking abundant but I usually just walk here. Across the street is a bunch more new housing and a few more restaurants and a gym. Really, almost anything you could want is either in this strip mall or within a few more blocks. I've never had any problems here but there is some sort of abandoned building I think in the rear. It used to be the old city hall - so there is awkward parking lots not used and the general area needs lots of redevelopment. I like the redwood trees and pine trees and green grass on the little hill surrounding the area. I wish Hayward would plant more triple blossom cherry trees. The might cost the same or slightly more than the other mediocre trees the city seems obsessed with planting.
