I was raised in the same house in Orinda from age 2-18.  I loved my upbringing so much that I tried to convince my husband to move back into the same house I grew up in when we moved back to Orinda.  He thought that was too weird.  I let that one go as I had already won the Southern vs. Northern California “discussion”.  I had a charmed childhood.  I want the same for my children.  I owe most of it to my amazing parents, but a lot of it to the community of Orinda.  This is a fantastic place to live and raise a family.  I knew it was pretty fantastic when I was a kid, but appreciate it so much more now that I have lived all over the world.  I couldn’t wait to come home and raise my kids in this magical place.  I have been back for five years now and not a day goes by that I don’t give thanks that I am here with my husband and three girls living my dream.  If living in Orinda is a dream of yours, I would love to help you find your home!
