Luxuriously residential

Sycamore Valley is a name that prompts images of rolling hills and trees as far as the eye can see. This heavily residential part of Danville lives up to its name. Located 23 miles east of Oakland and 35 miles east of San Francisco, Sycamore Valley is full of recreational areas. Its beautiful natural spaces aren’t the neighborhood’s only strength, however. Here, residents can find several exceptional schools for their children, eat a hearty meal and learn about different cultures at museums, galleries and shows. “It’s a very luxurious residential area close to Danville, a beautiful little town with nice little shops, restaurants and cafes," says Soraya Golesorhki, a local Coldwell Banker Realtor with 18 years of experience. Sycamore Valley also receives a 2 out of 10 CAP Index crime score. So while this neighborhood may be a valley, it has many peaks.

A hot housing market

Houses in Sycamore Valley have spacious front yards great for decorating and relaxing in the warm California sunshine. Home styles include everything from upscale townhomes to Mediterranean-inspired properties. "The housing market is hot there because the proximity to downtown is in high demand," Golesorkhi says. As a result, homes roughly sell between $1.3 million to $3.8 million and typically after a period of 14 days.

Wildlife and walking trails

Residents can play bocce or catch a refreshing breeze by the fountain at Sycamore Valley Park. For even more outdoor adventures, they can head to the expansive Sycamore Valley Open Space Preserve. This large recreational area encompasses two major ridges in a collection of valleys and hills below Mount Diablo. Visitors can encounter many kinds of local wildlife including Western bluebirds, Northern Pacific rattlesnakes and scrub jays. There is also the Iron Horse Trail, which "people also really love because they can go walk their dogs, ride their bikes and walk from Danville to Livermore or Walnut Creek," says Golesorkhi.
