A quiet and peaceful suburb outside San Francisco, Moraga is ranked by Niche as the #1 Best Place to Live in Contra Costa County. Due to its fantastic public schools, ample greenery, and calm atmosphere, Moraga is a fantastic place to raise a family in close proximity to major cities.
Not far from Berkeley, Moraga was originally a stop along the Sacramento Northern Railroad before opening its first post office in 1886. It was officially incorporated in 1974, combining together the communities of Moraga Town, Rheem, and Rheem Valley. Today, the town is known for its excellent schools and beautiful nature.
This is a great place to look for homes that are more affordable than in Lafayette or Orinda, yet still in close proximity to the California Distinguished Schools and a commuting distance from San Francisco, Oakland, and Walnut Creek. Homes in this area range from sprawling California ranch-style houses to contemporary estates overlooking the towering Moraga Hills.
