Privacy, Natural Beauty, and Outstanding Schools
About the Community
Orinda completes the celebrated Lamorinda trio — Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda — as a wooded, upscale community of approximately 20,000 residents in the hills east of the Berkeley-Oakland border. With its own BART station, the historic Orinda Theatre, and outstanding schools, Orinda attracts buyers who prioritize privacy, natural beauty, and educational excellence.
Students attend the highly regarded Orinda Union School District through 8th grade before feeding into Miramonte High School in the Acalanes Union High School District — one of California's finest high school systems. This K-12 pipeline of excellent public schools is one of Orinda's most compelling attributes for families.
Home styles in Orinda range from charming mid-century modern retreats on wooded hillside lots to newer luxury estates with expansive views. The Orinda Country Club adds a social dimension to the community, while Briones Regional Park and the surrounding open space corridors provide miles of hiking and riding trails. The Orinda BART station makes San Francisco commuting straightforward, a feature that keeps demand for Orinda real estate consistently strong.
