Piedmont

 

A short distance from the heart of San Francisco and bordered by beautiful state parks, Piedmont is an elegant, tight-knit community with top-notch schools. It’s a beautiful spot to build a life, where gorgeous mansions line the streets and massive trees enhance the scenery. You’ll also never have to worry about searching for the perfect cup of coffee or the next best restaurant because there are so many terrific options in the area.

 

Piedmont offers numerous recreational opportunities, keeping the community engaged and active. With activity guides updated for each season, this is only one way that Piedmont residents enjoy an attentive, close-knit community.

It’s an excellent spot for families wanting to set down roots, with top-notch schools and fantastic parks for outdoor fun.

Their dishes are constructed like art, the drinks are zippy and vibrant, and the atmosphere is warm and fun.
