Commuter Family-Friendly Suburban Nature Mountain Views

San Ramon, less than an hour away from both Oakland and San Francisco, is a golfer’s paradise. There are a variety of options when it comes to choosing where you’d like to practice your golf swing, including the Bridges Golf Club, San Ramon Golf Club, and Canyon Lakes Golf Course and Brewery.

You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy renting in San Ramon. The volunteer-run Forest Home Farms Historic Park is an effort committed to preserving history. You can view a slice of life from late 19th and early 20th centuries when you tour the farm and the Glass House Museum on site.

With more than 50 parks in the San Ramon city limits, it’s easy to find a place to delight in nature and partake in outdoor activities. Nearby Las Trampas Regional Wilderness is a massive park with extensive trail systems for hikers and horseback riders as well as prime bird and wildlife views. Head over to the Golden Skate, an all-ages roller rink, if you prefer to be active indoors.

Convenient to BART in addition to Interstates 680 and 580, traveling to and from San Ramon is simple.
