Suburban living in the outskirts of the East Bay

Located in the east end of small-town Danville, California, Tassajara is where the suburbs meet the rolling foothills and meadows of the East Bay. The neighborhood’s modern subdivisions offer residents an excellent school district and nearby amenities in rural Contra Costa County. Residents also have stunning views of Mount Diablo and its grassy foothills along the northwestern horizon. “We’ve lived here for 26 years,” says Realtor Kerri O’Reilly, a managing partner at Engel & Volkers. “It’s a little more affordable than westside Danville, it’s got all the amenities you need, and the schools are top-rated. It's a great place to raise a family.”

Contemporary homes with Mediterranean flare

Tassajara is made up several residential communities at the outskirts of Danville and north of Dublin. The neighborhood is known for its rows of modern, upscale homes built between the 1990s and the 2010s, including some that are still under construction. It has a summery, coastal vibe owing to the abundance of Mediterranean Revival homes, stucco walls, red-tiled rooftops and the occasional husky palm tree. While residences are modest in size compared to the estates in nearby Blackhawk, these homes have luxury amenities like wood-beamed living rooms, enclosed courtyards, stainless steel kitchen appliances and backyard swimming pools. Home prices typically range from around $2 million to upwards of $4 million depending on square footage and lot size. The area is known to be at risk for wildfires, especially during the peak season between June and October.

Blue Ribbon schools

Students living in the neighborhood attend schools in the award-winning San Ramon Valley Unified School District. Within the neighborhood, students can attend Creekside Elementary School, an A-plus-rated school and the top-rated elementary school in the county, according to Niche. Students move on to A-rated Diablo Vista Middle School and A-plus-rated Monte Vista High School. Monte Vista High is a past recipient of both the California Distinguished Schools and National Blue Ribbon awards.

Community parks, playgrounds and vistas

Several community parks are woven into the fabric of the neighborhood that are perfect for afternoon walks and outdoor activities. “A lot of the parks have water features, which is great because it does get hot here,” O’Reilly says. On a sunny day, locals take the kids to Diablo Vista Park, also known as “snake park,” because of the mosaic snake sculpture that winds its way down the hillside. Right next door is Red Willow Park, a small greenspace where residents can relax in the sunshine on a summer day. At the southern end of the neighborhood, hikers can access Kelly’s Hill or Tassajara Ridge, both of which have nearby access points to winding trails with hillside views.

Getting around the East Bay

Located about 30 miles from Oakland and Berkeley and 35 miles from San Francisco, Tassajara is close enough for commuting. “You need to watch the traffic, but if you time it right you can get to San Francisco in 40 minutes,” O’Reilly says. It’s about 7 miles from the nearest on-ramp to Interstate 680. Those in need of public transit can catch the bus on Camino Tassajara, and BART stations can be found in the neighboring towns of Walnut Creek and Dublin.
