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 bus.
