Spring Hill Valley places you on the serene north side of Lafayette, where oak-draped hills meet cul-de-sacs and trailheads. Residents enjoy quick access to downtown dining and boutiques, while commuters appreciate nearby Lafayette BART Station and a straight shot along Highway 24 to Walnut Creek and Orinda. Set within Contra Costa County, the neighborhood balances a relaxed, outdoorsy feel with everyday convenience.
Outdoor lovers gravitate to this area for its gateways into Briones Regional Park via the Springhill staging area and the rolling Lafayette Ridge. Weekend jogs, dog walks, and golden-hour vistas are part of the routine, as are picnics and paddleboat rentals at the Lafayette Reservoir Recreation Area.
Education is a point of pride. Younger students attend Springhill Elementary School, with many progressing to Stanley Middle School and Acalanes High School, known for strong academics, arts, and athletics. Blocks tend to have larger lots and mature landscaping, and you’ll find a mix of mid-century homes and thoughtful updates that prioritize light, privacy, and outdoor living.
Life here moves at an easy pace: morning coffee on the deck, a quick spin up the ridge, then dinner downtown without crossing a freeway. If Spring Hill Valley sounds like your kind of place, Agent Pronto’s free service matches buyers and sellers with local real estate agents who know the neighborhood inside and out.
