    "No sidewalks makes it tough to get out with little kids and even bigger kids riding bikes is difficult. In general super safe, the roads are narrow and very curvy probably the least safe thing for kids is walking to and from the bus stop. "

    "Lived here for 12 years now. We love Orinda's almost rural feeling, with great access to BART and therefore San Francisco, Oakland, and everywhere else it goes to. Families in our neighborhood tend to stay put. Some homes are occupied by 2nd generations, and the couple 3 doors down form us have been there since the 1950s. Very peaceful, quiet, safe."

    "It’s beautiful, quiet, and private. I’ve lived here for about 20 years. The houses are all unique and gorgeous. There are lots of trees, you almost feel like you’re living out in the country instead of in the middle of a sprawling metropolitan area, just on the other side of the Caldecott tunnel from Oakland. While you definitely can’t walk to the grocery store, Safeway is a pretty close drive and there are shops and restaurants right at the bottom of the hill. My favorite part of living here is close proximity to grizzly peak and Tilden and Sibley parks. The steam trains and merry-go-round are fantastic for young children, and there are excellent hiking trails with views of the bay. "
