Hercules brings together waterfront character, trails, and open space.
Hercules began as a company town connected to the California Powder Works and was incorporated in 1900. Today, the city includes a Bay waterfront, rolling hills, residential neighborhoods, parks, and trails. The City reports approximately 950 acres of open space and trails, along with two community parks and five neighborhood parks. Parks and open spaces together account for approximately one-third of the city’s land area. Hercules is also served by Interstate 80 and State Route 4.
Hercules properties can create different financing considerations based on purchase price, occupancy, property type, condition, appraisal, insurance, HOA requirements, available equity, and income documentation. Xcel Residential Mortgage helps clients compare options using the complete borrower and property scenario.
