Let me first say im 29, and I grew up and live in Discovery Bay currently. The town is really what you make of it, sure we don't have a ton of restaurants, and the bars close at 12pm. But that hasnt stopped me from enjoying my life in town. We have two pizza places (dominos also delivers from brentwood), one sushi, one Chinese, one mexican, a steakhouse with a sportsbar, a waterfront bar/grilll, a subway, and a wine bar. Aslo Bentwood and Livermore are a stones throw.
As far as living in Discovery Bay, I would recommend the water, it makes life feel like a vacation. We spend most of our summer nights kayaking, wakeboarding, or just floating around. As a kid, we spent all summer, biking, fishing, paddleboating, and when we turned 16 we were wakeboarding with friends. Its a very close nit safe community. Sadly we had one tragedy lately.
Outside of water sports, we have a community center and a gym. You can also go hiking pretty close by (round valley recreational)
Shopping in Bentwood isnt bad either, kinda strip mall stuff like Roseville. If you don't like Bentwood, you can just drive into livermore or tracy.
The schools were pretty good, about as good as public schools get, and almost everyone I know went off to college.
The weeds are going away now because of parks and waterways (I think its them), they are killing them off with something.
If you are serious about Discovery Bay, maybe rent a home on the water for a weekend soon, I can point you in the right direction.
