What to expect:
Historical properties and a commitment to community-building.

Historically called The City of Millionaires, Piedmont is home to winding neighborhood streets that string together massive estates and more modest single-family homes near the city border, and the sense of community is strong in this small town.

The lifestyle:
Piedmont is more of a close-knit village than a city.

Through school events and annual events like the famed 4th of July parade and the family-oriented picnic in the park, catching up with neighbors is part of what makes Piedmont a lovely haven.

Unexpected appeal:
Privacy and breathing room reign in this small hamlet.

Views of Oakland become dazzling specks of light from this neighborhood’s rolling hills. Large homes with land are difficult to come by this close to the Bay’s biggest cities, and yet Piedmont has all of that and a village pace, despite it all.
