Housing IS expensive in San Ramon, but, that's true for most areas in California. I've lived in San Ramon for 20 years and can honestly say it's the best city I've ever lived in. The people are friendly and polite. The crime rate is very, very low, particularly violent crime. San Ramon also has great schools and great weather. Because so many people over the years have also discovered how wonderful San Ramon is, traffic over the years has become more and more of a problem during the morning and afternoon commute times. I've never heard of a problem as a result of the location of the federal jail in the Tri-Valley area. Even though my family and I will be relocating out of state in the future because of the high cost of living, I wouldn't even consider it if I had the financial means to stay in San Ramon. It's a wonderful community and I've loved every moment here!
