[quote=Anonymous]Agreed with 18:04--I think you're pretty on point with your observations.

I will say as someone who lives in Oakland/Berkeley that we have only once visited a friend in Danville. Otherwise they come to us (but they are the only ones out there while everyone else is close in, so there's that). We see Lamorinda people far more frequently, since it isn't far at all from Oakland/Berkeley outside of commute hours. Don't underestimate the value of BART access.

You're right that Orinda housing stock is older and more quirky, though--it's more like Oakland/Berkeley in that regard (where it's equally hard to find a 5BR because they developed before that was a thing). At $1.7M, you are definitely not priced out of Lafayette. I would also keep Piedmont on your radar--you won't find much at that price point, but there have been a few larger homes in the $1.7M vicinity in the past year.

Remember to look at 4BR homes, too. Many that are larger may have an extra room that may not officially be a bedroom, but would work fine as a home office.[/quote]
