A charming, serene community nestled in the East Bay
Located 18 miles east of San Francisco, Moraga is known for its beautiful weather, fantastic community, outdoor recreation opportunities, and top-rated schools. Moraga’s downtown district has everything you need for daily living: from small, family-owned boutiques to diverse restaurants that locals love, Moraga has it all. Like Orinda and Lafayette, Moraga offers a stunning natural setting surrounded by many parks, trails, reservoirs, and beautiful open spaces, making this the perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast.
Consisting of ten square miles with just over 18,000 residents, the Moraga community is made up of several smaller neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character. A few notables are Sanders Ranch, Corliss, The Bluffs, Moraga Country Club, Camino Pablo, and Campolindo. Residents and tourists alike love Moraga and it's no surprise it was named one of the best places to live in California.
Residents of Moraga enjoy a wide range of local activities throughout the year. Spend time each week shopping for produce and homemade gifts at the farmers’ market, enjoy summer concerts at Moraga Commons Park, participate in numerous triathlons and relax at one of many popular (and delicious) restaurants. The Moraga community is family-friendly, with excellent schools, and most residents are young families and professionals. Highway 24 connects Moraga to the rest of the Bay Area, making it an easy commute to the city. With so many unique things to do in such a charming neighborhood, Moraga is a wonderful place to call home.
