About Living in San Ramon...The City of San Ramon is considered a premier residential community in the San Francisco Bay Area. People come to San Ramon for its beautiful vistas, fine weather, good schools, attractive parks, and access to work. Some of the best of what Northern California has to offer in recreation, entertainment, leisure, and more, is less than an hour away in any direction. San Ramon is located on 18 square miles in Contra Costa County, about 25 miles east of Oakland in the scenic San Ramon Valley, between Danville to the north and Dublin to the south.
“San Ramon Village” had a population in the hundreds living amidst orchards and grazing land. The arrival of Interstate 680 in 1966, and later the development of Bishop Ranch Office Park in 1982, one of the largest business parks in the region, and the San Ramon Regional Medical Center in 1990, contributed to San Ramon’s rapid growth. The ranches and farms were transformed into attractive housing communities. Bishop Ranch is home to 550 companies representing more than 30 industries and includes offices for some of the major corporations in the world. The 580-acre office park with 5.9 million square feet of office space is also home to start-ups and growing companies in areas like software and clean tech. There is more than 4 million square feet of retail and lodging space located within the park. |
