**Castro Valley station** is a [Bay Area Rapid Transit](/source/Bay_Area_Rapid_Transit) (BART) [station](/source/Metro_station) located in the [center median](/source/Central_reservation) of [Interstate 580](/source/Interstate_580_(California)) in [Castro Valley, California](/source/Castro_Valley%2C_California). The entrance plaza, parking lots, and bus transfer area are located on the north side of the highway; a tunnel under the westbound lanes connects the entrance to the fare lobby, which is located under the [island platform](/source/Island_platform). The station is served by the [Blue Line](/source/Blue_Line_(BART)).

A 96-unit [transit-oriented](/source/Transit-oriented_development) apartment complex was built on the northwest corner of the station site in 1993 while the station was under construction. The project included the restoration of a historic Victorian house.[4][5]: 7 The station opened on May 10, 1997, as part of the extension to [Dublin/Pleasanton station](/source/Dublin%2FPleasanton_station).[2] It was the eastern terminus of AC Transit route M, which provided transbay service to Hillsdale over the [San Mateo–Hayward Bridge](/source/San_Mateo%E2%80%93Hayward_Bridge), from March 2003 to March 2010.[6][7] As of 2024[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Castro_Valley_station&action=edit), BART indicates "significant market, local support, and/or implementation barriers" that must be overcome to allow development on the surface parking lots at the station. Such development would not begin until at least the mid-2030s.[5]: 17
