Miramonte High earns National Blue Ribbon School designation
Neighborhood children may start their educations at Wagner Ranch Elementary School before moving on to Orinda Intermediate School for grades six through eight. Both schools have an A grade on Niche. Miramonte High School, which earns an A-plus, was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2024. High schoolers can choose from a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) classes—from African American Studies and Macroeconomics to Chinese Culture and Language—and computer-science courses that introduce them to the Bay Area’s famous high-technology industry. The school also boasts a high college-enrollment rate, with 95% of the class of 2024 pursuing a college education.Grazing cattle in Sibley natural area reduce wildfire risk
The Wilder development includes a system of trails that weaves through more than 1,300 acres of open space. The Wilder Fields are a collection of soccer and baseball fields northwest of the neighborhood. Past the fields and across the highway, colorful wildflowers reach toward the sun along sandy trails that lead to bay vistas in the Siesta Valley Recreation Area.Homes in the southwest portion of the neighborhood back up to the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, and a path connects the residential streets to the preserve’s hiking and equestrian trails. Free-range cattle are a common sight on the preserve's slopes, and their grazing reduces the risk of wildfires by removing vegetation.
Wilder homeowners association fees cover private amenities
Homes are set into the rolling green hills of Wilder, in variations of New Traditional, contemporary and Spanish Mission-revival architecture. As part of a relatively new development, homes rarely go on the market, and prices primarily range from $3 million to $3.8 million.Residents enjoy access to a community clubhouse, green spaces, a private swimming pool and a fitness center, all covered by monthly homeowners association fees, which hover around $745. “People are extremely into the swimming and water-polo communities,” Cane says.
The Wilder subdivision has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10—significantly lower than the national average of 4.
Connections to downtown Orinda, Oakland and San Francisco
Wilder Road runs through the center of the neighborhood and merges with California State Route 24, which connects to several nearby city centers. The highway leads about 2.5 miles east to downtown Orinda and about 9 miles west to downtown Oakland. From there, Interstate 80 crosses the bay into San Francisco, about 17 miles away.Italian classics and famous fried chicken at Casa Orinda
Surrounded by nothing but rolling hills and other suburbs, Wilder residents can find dining and entertainment in Downtown Orinda. Next to the Art Deco Orinda Theatre, the Fourth Bore Taproom & Grill provides entertainment with live music on its heated patio. Across the street, the Casa Orinda Restaurant is a cultural institution, having served the community since 1932 with an eclectic combination of Western and Italian cuisines. “It’s been around since my dad was in college at Saint Mary’s,” Cane says. “The fried chicken is unbelievable." The downtown food scene centers around a variety of international flavors, including Bangladeshi, Japanese, Vietnamese and Greek. A Safeway is farther northwest.
