    "Commute is pretty easy. A few minutes to the freeway or to BART. Safer to take transit from Orinda. Very short drive to downtown SF when traffic is light. "

    "Not a great commute to Bart, or anywhere as I am up in the hills. Everywhere is a drive for me. However it’s a trade off to the view and the peaceful neighborhood."

    "We live here and for us it is like coming home to a vacation place every day. This is on a small dead end street way up in the hills and there is lots of privacy but yet there is a friendly neighborhood that stays in touch and alerts people to possible danger or trespassers. We recommend this for anyone who can drive."
