Judy's Best of Orinda

Here's some of what I like best about Orinda:

(1) small town ambiance, mostly understated, affluent community feeling
(2) Close commute to San Francisco
(3) Lake Cascade-actually a reservoir...feed the ducks but don't swim!
(4) scenery-oak studded hillsides, winding roads, beautiful homes
(5) Beautiful Orinda Country Club
(6) Theatre Square Shopping/Restaurants and Orinda Theater
(7) Village Cafe coffee shop-best casual breakfasts, lunches
(8) Casa Orinda restaurant

(9) Highly rated schools
(10) Orinda Community Center/Park/Library
