Northwood-Tara pairs wooded calm with everyday convenience in Orinda. Tree-canopied streets, generous lots, and cul-de-sacs create a quiet residential rhythm. Commuters value quick links to Highway 24 and the Orinda Station on BART, putting the Bay Area within easy reach. Evenings often include downtown dining and the neon glow of the classic Orinda Theatre.
Families appreciate the highly regarded schools. The Orinda Union School District guides elementary and middle learners, while the Acalanes Union High School District serves teens at Miramonte High School. Strong academics pair with robust arts, athletics, and parent-led enrichment.
Weekend plans lean outdoors: ridge walks at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve and loops around the Lafayette Reservoir are minutes away. Closer to home, neighbors trade garden tips over fences and gather for casual cul-de-sac play. When errands call, nearby Lafayette and Moraga offer markets and cafes, with services and culture across Contra Costa County.
