A wooded neighborhood in quaint Lafayette
Residents of Springhill Area come home to winding country lanes, forested hillsides and sweeping views of East Bay greenery. Its upscale homes are perched in the slopes on wooded lots just north of Lafayette’s quaint downtown district. Located about 16 miles east of Oakland, the town is known for its highly rated schools. “The schools are everything. You can go five miles east and the houses are 20 percent cheaper because people pay a premium to get into this school district,” says Jay Williams, broker at Compass Real Estate, a longtime area resident.

Walking, hiking and biking minutes from the front door
The neighborhood’s streets wind through forests of oak, willow and bay laurel brimming with wildlife. Many of these roads come to dead-end, but also mark the entrance to rangy trail networks that extend out into the ridges, valleys and meadows of Briones Regional Park. “It’s a beautiful community, and you’ve got great access to trails and hiking,” Williams says. At more than 6,000 acres, it’s one of the area’s largest and most popular hiking, biking and camping destinations. The area typically experiences hot, sunny summers and mild winters, and it gets much less fog than communities closer to the waterfront.
