The vibe

Closest of the three to Oakland/Berkeley via Caldecott Tunnel. BART, mature trees, hillside homes with Bay views, walkable Theatre District.

Who loves it

Buyers who work in SF or East Bay and want the easiest Lamorinda commute combined with Miramonte-district schools.

What it isn't

Flat. Orinda is a hill-town — most homes have stairs, driveways, and views to match.

Insider note from Roger

Glorietta and Country Club area trade fastest. Orinda Downs is the quietest pocket. Sleepy Hollow Elementary catchment is the most desired.
