One of the many reasons local residents love living in Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda, also known as Lamorinda. is the close proximity to San Francisco, and in particular, the ease of getting in and out of the city. Our super-convenient BART system has been recognized nationally as one of the best public transit systems. SmartAsset just ranked the San Francisco Bay Area second in the nation as outlined in Pacific Union’s article, Bay Area Cities Rank Among Best in U.S. for Public Transit. We frequently hear our new buyers’ reservations about moving from SF, Oakland and Berkeley because of commute concerns, but once here, and using BART, they are so happy they moved to Lamorinda. Most feel they get the best of both worlds, the experience the hustle and bustle only major urban centers can provide, but also enjoy the peace, quiet, scenery, and excellent schools Lamorinda provides.
