Alamo
Semi-rural luxury between the hills and the valley
Living in Alamo
An affluent, semi-rural enclave in Contra Costa County prized for sprawling estate lots, mature oaks and award-winning schools.
Alamo offers a rare blend of privacy and proximity. Tucked between Walnut Creek and Danville, its tree-lined roads and larger parcels create an estate atmosphere just minutes from downtown shopping, dining and Interstate 680.
Homes range from gracious ranch properties on flat acre lots to custom contemporary estates in the western hills with views of Mount Diablo. Families are drawn by the top-rated San Ramon Valley Unified School District and the easy, unhurried pace of life.
