WELCOME TO ORINDA
A suburban community with a natural vibe and quick access to the big city
East of San Francisco, the charming town of Orinda boasts a small-town feel with a growing economy and lively downtown. Orinda is a great home for commuters, as there is a BART metro stop that can take passengers to San Francisco within an hour. This is a fantastic spot for real estate seekers who want big-city amenities within easy reach.
Founded in 1920, Orinda has a rich history within the American gold rush and pioneer days. The oak-covered Oakland Hills provide lovely scenic views, and Orinda isn’t too far from the beaches around the Bay area. With plenty of gorgeous scenery and outdoor areas to explore, Orinda is a paradise for nature lovers.
