Old-town charm meets upscale amenities within the East Bay area
Located 30 miles east of San Francisco, downtown Danville blends rustic charm with an upscale, nature-infused community in the heart of the San Ramon Valley. Residing along the beautiful Dan River and highlighted by a sweeping hillside backdrop of Mount Diablo, downtown Danville exudes a classic Main Street essence. “You get the small-town feel while having the amenities of a larger city,” says lifelong Contra Costa County resident, Khrista Jarvis-Diebner, a broker and realtor at The Khrista Jarvis Team in Danville. “We have great restaurants, shopping, entertainment, hiking trails and multiple country clubs nearby.” Downtown’s booming historic district, with walkable streets and colorful vintage buildings, showcases the city’s rich past, which is epitomized by the 350-year-old Danville Oak tree that dates back even further than the area’s roots as a Gold Rush Settlement in the 1800s. A strong community spirit, along with the area’s desirably central Bay Area location and excellent education system, attracts residents looking for more suburban living without sacrificing vibrant urban amenities. “The schools here are top-rated, plus it’s so close to Silicon Valley and San Francisco,” Khrista Jarvis-Dieber adds. “It’s perfect for any professionals working there who want a great place to raise a family.”

Vibrant shopping and dining within historic downtown
Along Downtown Danville’s idyllic, historic streets, there’s a substantial variety of lively restaurants and one-of-a-kind shopping options. “We have great cuisine from sushi to steakhouses, and there are quaint coffee shops that are perfect for meeting friends,” says Jarvis-Diebner. Dining hotspots include places like the highly-rated Locanda Ravello. Owned by Naples, Italy natives, the restaurant serves up Neapolitan-style Italian dishes in a garden-style, indoor-outdoor setting. Patrons can dine on the patio and enjoy favorites like carbonara and ravioli while sipping on Aperol Spritz and looking out at the rolling hill views. For sweeter offerings, Danville Bakery is the go-to downtown spot. “It’s a staple for the best pastries, cookies, cakes and service,” says Jarvis-Diebner. “It’s been around for decades.” When cooking at home, locals can grab groceries at Trader Joe's or the gourmet Lunardi’s Market, located on Railroad Avenue. For retail shopping, residents can explore an array of trendy establishments, from vintage to upscale shops and charming boutiques, all lined along Hartz and Prospects Avenues. “For shopping downtown, I love going into Flaunt and Ella J boutiques, they're always staying on top of trends with the newest things.”
