Moraga is off-the-beaten path in the Berkeley Hills
Moraga, in the Berkeley Hills, is spread across land that ranchers inhabited in the 1800s. Dairies and small farms eventually replaced the large ranches. Over the years, Moraga became more connected—and commutable—to the cities on the other side of the Berkeley Hills, first by rail, then by a highway dug through the Caldecott Tunnel, then a BART train. It is now home to 17,000 people.
Moraga makes up the southern point of a triangle of towns created by Moraga, Orinda and Lafayette. Collectively, these towns are known as Lamorinda, and they share a reputation for great schools and agreeable weather. Moraga is the furthest from Interstate 24, which connects the area to Berkeley and Oakland, where many residents commute to work in the professional and tech industries. “Moraga is a wonderful town with a small-town vibe in the heart of the Bay Area. We have beautiful, green rolling hills, and the schools are consistently rated at the top,” says Anya Gorman, a Realtor with Compass Realty who grew up in Moraga. “A lot of people come here from the cities. They come for the schools and stay for the wonderful community.”

Recreation and community life at Moraga Commons Park
Moraga Commons Park has playgrounds and sports facilities, and the Moraga Valley Swim & Tennis Club, in the center of town near Donald Reservoir, has trails with views of the hills. Moraga Country Club has an 18-hole golf course set in the hills. The 7-mile Lafayette-Moraga Trail was recently upgraded. It connects to Lafayette and is well-traveled by bikers and hikers. Surrounding the city are recreation areas such as Lafayette Reservoir Recreation Area and Orinda Oaks Open Space. Painted Rock on the hillside that overlooks the town is a feature that brings the community together. “We have a unique tradition,” says Gorman. “Kids in high school will paint it with team colors. Everyone sees it driving through town.”
Community events are held at Moraga Commons and Hacienda de las Flores Park. The September Pear & Wine Festival celebrates Moraga's history and the fall harvest. The Bunnies & Brews is a happy hour gathering in March that features food trucks and live entertainment.

Moraga Way for getting in and out of town
Moraga Way is the main route to enter and exit Moraga. It goes through Orinda to connect with Interstate 24, which connects to East Bay cities. It's 13 miles to Berkeley and Oakland, 22 miles to San Francisco and 21 miles to Oakland International Airport. These places are all accessible by BART as well, which has a station in Orinda. The County Connection system offers bus service to the Moraga area, with several stops along Moraga Way. The John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek is under 10 miles away.
Bay Area fog, with a chance of wildfires
During the summer, fog comes over the Berkeley Hills and settles into the valley, but it burns off by afternoon. Moraga is at risk of wildfires; a blaze caused evacuations in 2019, but it was contained before reaching town. Moraga shares a fire district with Orinda, and local officials are addressing risks by enforcing rules such as banning vegetation near structures and funding gutter guards that protect homes from flying embers.
Crime rates in Moraga
The overall crime rate in Moraga decreased by 14% from 2022 to 2023, according to the town’s police department. Data from the California Department of Justice shows the property crime rate has gone down steadily since 2002. The violent crime rate has increased a bit, but the actual numbers are low, with 1.19 violent crimes per 1,000 people reported in 2023.
