Where Are the Best Neighborhoods to Trick or Treat in Livermore

Livermore residents share a few of their favorites haunts in town.

Is it the over-sized candy bars or the well lit streets, the crowds or the friendly treat givers that makes a great trick-or-treat neighborhood?

Livermore Patch Facebook Readers were quick to offer up what they feel are the best places in town to take the kids trick-or-treating.

  • Kristin Jones-Bleier: Vinsanto community off of Concannon
  • Missy Sandahl Silva: Over by Altamont creek school
  • TLyn Schaf: Missy is correct. Some guy over there decorates his house like a movie set. They block off the entire street. Tons of people show up. Its pretty cool 
  • Stephanie Silva: Do you know where by Altamont? We're kinda new to the area and haven't seen that house yet:)
  • Raquel Giovannoni-Ketchum: @Stephanie Winding Stream Drive......we are on the court and we run out of candy EVERY YEAR, it's a great street to live on!!
  • Livermore Patch: Not sure if this is the house everyone is talking about, but, well, it's pretty cool either way! http://livermore.patch.com/...Alien Spacecraft Crash Lands in Livermore!
  • Sara Schleske: I can agree with Winding stream....we are a block over and we double stocked this year to insure we do not run out again  great crowd! And the house is a great attraction! 
    And @livermore patch - that's the one!!!
  • Krista Michelle Pennock: I live right around the corner from the house on winding stream...this neighborhood is packed every year! It's a lot of fun
  • Missy Sandahl Silva: I think all the houses across from the school are great
  • Missy Sandahl Silva: The people are just so nice
  • Teresa Zieminski-Myers: I wish it was ours. We've been trying for years to make it great! At least our house is a beacon of lights and creepiness for the little ghouls and goblins.
  • Alyssa Rittmann: Are u serious u left out the most important part: biggest candy bars
  • Cory Noltensmeier: The area off of East Ave with college street names.
  • Amy Thurston Bond: Downtown of course!
  • Tia Clifford: Amy, they won't hAve anything downtown
