Guide to San Ramon, California

63

By TinaAtHome

San Ramon, California is home to many attractive new houses, mainly at Tassajara and Windermere. It is an idyllic place to live. It straddles the 680 and is in the shadow of Mount Diablo. There is no specified city center, although there are plans to build one and the land for that purpose has already been designated on Bollinger Canyon Road. San Ramon is 40 miles east of San Francisco.

Where to Stay

There are a number of hotels in San Ramon – Sierra Suites, Marriott, Hotel Sierra, and more business hotels in the neighboring town of Danville.

Where to Eat

There are many places to eat in San Ramon. Japanese, Thai, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, pizza delivery, seafood places, and also Bridges Restaurant, the place where the movie Mrs. Doubtfire was filmed. The best Italian Restaurant in San Ramon, in my opinion, is Pacific Pasta Production in Market Place.

What to Do

The Iron Horse Trail goes from Concord to Dublin right through the middle of San Ramon, it is for walkers, bikers and horse riders. For more of a hike there is the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness.

As you drive north on the 680 through San Ramon you will see a white house on your left. It is the David Glass House and is a historically preserved building next to Forest Home Farms which is also historically preserved.

Nearby

San Francisco is 45 minutes by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transport) from the Dublin/Pleasanton station in nearby Dublin. You can also get to San Francisco or Oakland airports from Dublin/Pleasanton BART. With just over an hour’s driving north you can get to the wine country of Sonoma and Napa. The capital of California, Sacramento, is an hour and a half away. Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe are both 4 hours’ driving away, while San Jose and Silicon Valley are half an hour to an hour in a southerly direction.

The winter temperatures range from 50 to 70 degrees with occasional rain. There’s usually no rain from May to November and thunderstorms are rare.
