Serving All of Alamo

Alamo is an area of Contra Costa, CA, in the 94507 zip code. Although it is only about 28 miles from San Francisco, Alamo feels a world away thanks to the presence of the Diablo Foothills Regional Park and the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness. I-680 runs through Alamo, so getting to all the area attractions is incredibly convenient. This area has stunning natural scenery, but it also offers an appealing selection of single-family homes and all the modern amenities residents might need. From its pleasant Mediterranean climate to the desirable North Bay location, Alamo has a lot to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Alamo located?

United States of America's Contra Costa County is home to the census-designated place and unincorporated town of Alamo. The word "poplar tree" is the literal translation of its name, Alamo. In the East Bay area of the San Francisco Bay Area, this suburban hamlet is located about 28 miles east of San Francisco. Due of Alamo's central location, both the city of Walnut Creek and the incorporated town of Danville are equally accessible.

What are some notable parks in Alamo?

There are many lovely parks in Alamo for locals and guests to enjoy. The one-acre Andrew H. Young Park honors the Alamo citizen who made a substantial contribution to maintaining the neighborhood's attractiveness and is dedicated to Andrew H. Young. Over 4.4 acres, Livorna Park has a big open-air pavilion, playgrounds, sports courts, and lush green areas. It also hosts an annual Easter egg hunt and summer concerts. Soccer and softball grounds are available at Rancho Romero School Sports Field and Park, which is 5.4 acres, while baseball and soccer fields, batting cages, and sport courts are available at Alamo School Sports Field, which is 2.2 acres.

What are the schools in Alamo?

The bulk of Alamo is served by the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, which has three schools: Alamo School, Rancho Romero Elementary School, and Stone Valley Middle School. The original school bell from the 1880s is kept at Alamo School, which was founded in 1965. 556 children are enrolled at Rancho Romero Elementary School, which was originally built in 1959 and then rebuilt. Located in the Alamo suburbs, Stone Valley Middle School recently underwent renovations and now has a student-to-teacher ratio of 21-1. The Walnut Creek Elementary School District and the Acalanes Union High School District are responsible for a tiny area of Alamo.

What are the transportation options in Alamo?

The main highway connecting Alamo to the San Ramon Valley is Interstate 680, which also makes it easily accessible by other means of transportation. With connections to numerous communities like Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasanton, and Fremont as well as access to Wine Country, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and San Jose, this roadway provides handy travel alternatives for both north and southbound travelers. In close proximity to Walnut Creek, State Highway 24 crosses I-680, providing access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley through the Caldecott Tunnel. In terms of public transportation, Walnut Creek on the Yellow Line is the closest BART station, and County Connection buses (routes 21 and 321) offer local service along Danville Boulevard, linking Alamo to Danville, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek with options for weekday and weekend service.
