One of the questions I hear often from buyers considering Lamorinda is: "What's it actually like to live there?" My answer is always the same, come back in the summer time, and you'll never want to leave.
Lamorinda's trail system is one of those quiet luxuries that residents take for granted, until they try to explain it to someone who lives elsewhere. We're talking hundreds of miles of interconnected paths winding through oak woodlands, open hillsides, and creekside corridors, minutes from your front door.
Note: Some EBMUD trails require a permit. Visit ebmud.com/recreation to purchase one in advance.
Warm Lamorinda evenings are made for community. This summer, Lafayette Plaza comes alive on Friday nights in June with the beloved Rock the Plaza Concert Series. A free outdoor music event where neighbors spread blankets, uncork bottles, and let the night stretch on unhurried.
Free outdoor concerts, Friday evenings in June at Lafayette Plaza. Bring a picnic blanket and stay for the sunset. Music runs 6–8pm.
Sunday mornings at Moraga Center. Over 40 local California farmers and gourmet purveyors — the best way to start a summer weekend.
Moraga's beloved art deco landmark. Summer blockbusters and independent films in a setting that makes every movie feel like an occasion.
A 40-acre community park with a pond, summer evening events, and the kind of laid-back California energy that defines life here.
If there's one Lamorinda tradition I'd tell every newcomer to put on their calendar first, it's this one. The Moraga Commons Summer Concert Series now in its 42nd year is 11 consecutive Thursday nights of free live music at the Moraga Commons Bandshell, running June through August.
Bring a blanket, pick up a glass of wine from the Moraga Lions, grab something from the food trucks, and settle in. It's the kind of evening that reminds you exactly why you chose to live here. I know ill be there!
For families with children, Lamorinda's summer programming is exceptional and it's one of the most compelling reasons buyers with young kids choose this area over others in the East Bay.
Lafayette Parks & Rec's flagship summer camp for ages 4–11. Magic shows, tie-dye, obstacle courses, and ten weeks of outdoor adventure.
Set at the breathtaking Hacienda de las Flores, nine weeks of sports, arts, and outdoor exploration for ages 5½–12.
Rising PreK–12th graders explore performance and creativity in full stage productions in the heart of Lafayette.
Now in its 28th year,an intimate jazz program for ages 11 through adult. Master classes, improv workshops, and world-class instructors.
I've worked in Lamorinda real estate for years, and I still believe this area offers something rare: a lifestyle that doesn't require compromise. Top-ranked schools, extraordinary natural beauty, a true sense of community and summers that remind you exactly why you chose to live here!!
Whether you're already a resident soaking up the season, or you're considering making Lamorinda home, I'd love to connect and share what's possible in this market right now.
