northern california weather - 9/1/2007
the warm, sunny days from late spring to fall followed by crisp night air most days, can't be beat in many other areas of the country for ideal climate conditions. it makes sleeping easy without the need for an air conditioning environment. there are occasional times when it is hot and sometimes a hint of humidity but these are not frequent.
what i miss, however, is the green lushness one gets with the change of seasons and rainy summers. it is green here only during the rainy season from late october into

San Ramon ~ The Town Without A Downton - 6/23/2007
When one moves to San Ramon, you find out quickly that there is no Main Street with shops, movie theatres and restaurants. Instead you find a bedroom community that grew into the town that could. While we may not have, nor never will have a Main Street, we do have a fine community center, wonderful libraries and schools and several shopping centers as well as an excellent hospital and web of doctors as well as one of the most complete veterinary hospitals in the nation.
I was to mention the climate; the climate of the community is safe and participatory in all special events. A proud community east of San Franciso and north of San Jose, nestled in a valley where winters are mild and summers can get very warm and hot into the Indian Summer/Autumn time of year. Generally wet winters, so we have green hills in December and dry summers with hills of gold. A lovely, active place for all age

San Ramon experience...better than I imagined - 1/28/2007
We moved here from Oakland to be closer to work.
We've been pretty happy with our San Ramon experience.
Generally is affordable to rent and not affordable to buy (having said that, it's the cheapest property in the 680 corridor) at the current prices.
People seem very happy with the schools here and they do seem well run (our kids are not school age yet).
Lots of parks which are good for kids and an active/well run community center.
Downside is how suburban it is...but it's close enough for quick trips into SF/Oakland or Walnut Creek.
Weather is good, although not as good as Oakland (hotter summers, colder winters).
Almost no crime...there was a homeless guy at a bus stop one time, and I think the whole San Ramon police department was there (4 or 5 cars) to make sure he got on the next

Nice. Possibly overated. - 5/21/2006
San Ramon has beautiful weather, great schools, nearly nonexsistent crime, significantly less traffic than other bay area cities, and as a community we are becoming more ethically diverse. On the down side, housing is unbelievably expense, people are polite but not necessarily friendly, and our city completely lacks character or entertainment (strictly surburbia, we can't even boast a
