Alamo

 

Alamo’s population of 15,000 is significantly smaller than nearby towns, making it an attractive choice for buyers who seek a comfortable and tranquil community. 

 

Unlike neighboring areas, Alamo is unincorporated and does not have its own government. Police services are provided by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office; fire and emergency medical services are provided by the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District. 

 

Alamo public schools belong to the outstanding San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

 

The jewel of Alamo is Round Hill Country Club, a golf course and luxury housing community. In addition to golf, club amenities include tennis, swim/aquatics, bocce, fitness facilities and fine dining.

 

Large portions of both Mount Diablo State Park and Las Trampas Wilderness fall within Alamo’s borders. As the lone peak among foothills, Mount Diablo presents stunning views of the East Bay. Park visitors can hike, bike, horseback ride and camp. Hikers will enjoy the challenging and beautiful trails along the Las Trampas Ridge.

 

Should Alamo residents tire of the quiet way of life, the community’s proximity to Walnut Creek and Highway 24 provide easy access to more urban amenities, including fine dining, upscale shopping and entertainment.
