Sprawling suburban town popular among commuting professionals
Known for its splendid natural surroundings and enviable views of Mount Diablo, San Ramon is a sprawling suburban town located only 35 miles north of Silicon Valley and east of San Francisco. Intersected by Interstate 680, San Ramon is only a few minutes’ drive away from both Dublin and Danville, only adding to its convenient appeal. Despite its small-town status and charm, San Ramon is the site of several major corporation headquarters, including Cooper Companies, the Chevron Corporation, 24 Hour Fitness, and AT&T's West Coast head offices.
The town’s burgeoning business district, beautiful outdoor spaces, many annual festivals, and year-round sunny weather have made it particularly popular among professionals and young families who work in town or commute daily to the surrounding cities.
Originally part of the Rancho San Ramon land grant, the settlement developed into a railroad town before flourishing into the active, sought-after community it is today. Thanks to a surplus of space, most residential properties in San Ramon are multi-story single-family homes surrounded by well-manicured lawns and expertly landscaped gardens.
Despite its ever-growing size, the San Ramon community is pleasantly involved and active. With many annual festivals, events, and get-togethers, neighbors often end up as friends, only adding to the town’s charm. Many residents tend to commute to nearby cities for work. However, with plentiful entertainment, dining options, and beautiful public parks, it's no surprise San Ramon locals prefer to relax and unwind closer to home.
San Ramon is home to many popular eateries and retail opportunities. The Lot is a significant attraction, home to a 10-auditorium cinema and an elegant restaurant serving a dynamic menu of American and continental dishes alongside a comprehensive drinks menu. Another local staple is Gianni’s Italian Bistro, where patrons can partake of classic Italian cuisine, wines, and low-calorie dishes in a bubbling, energetic atmosphere. And, if donuts are in order, Dainty Donuts is not to be missed with its daily collection of freshly made donuts accompanied by delightfully strong coffee.
For those who prefer a spot of retail therapy, City Center Bishop Ranch hosts several chain stores and independent boutiques like Alys Grace (a women’s fashion staple), Anthropologie, and Pottery Barn. The center is also home to many popular eateries, including Bamboo Sushi, the Fieldwork Brewing Company, and Philz Coffee.
Thanks to San Ramon’s highly active community, there’s never a shortage of fun things to do in town. The renowned Art and Wind Festival is a hub for creative spirits and fun-seeking residents looking to enjoy fine art exhibits, specialty food vendors, an extensive range of wines, and headlining international live music. The town also hosts the Run for Education marathon and fun run, which brings fitness lovers and philanthropists together for a noble and common cause.
For those who prefer a more exclusive atmosphere, the Crow Canyon Country Club is a great place to unwind over a game of golf on an 18-hole championship course or enjoy a game of tennis with a friend. The numerous onsite restaurants and bars also offer delicious menus and regular events open to members and their guests. Another acclaimed option is The Bridges Golf Club, which also features an immaculately kept golf course and an elegant restaurant serving contemporary Californian cuisine for brunch or a late lunch.
