Views of the Mount Diablo foothills, glass-walled business parks and some of the best public schools in the Bay Area are the calling cards of San Ramon, California. “If you’re looking for a safe, family-oriented community, this is it,” says Realtor Bernard Laffer of Realty World Complete Services, who moved to San Ramon in 2020 after living in nearby Pleasanton for many years. “It’s upscale, it’s suburban and it’s very diverse. There are a lot of highly educated people who live here.”
Located between Danville and Dublin, this suburban city is situated in the low hills and valleys of Contra Costa County, about 35 miles east of San Francisco. The city has a brand-new central shopping and dining district, dozens of well-maintained community parks and frequent community events, including a weekly farmer’s market and an annual arts festival. San Ramon is among the fastest growing cities in the East Bay: it nearly doubled in population between 2000 and 2020, from 44,000 to 84,000 residents.
