we currently live in Oakland, but with our children approaching school age, we are looking to move to an area with good public schools. we've been looking seriously in Lafayette, Moraga & Orinda, but due to lack of inventory and high prices, we have opened up our search to Alamo. Husband works in SF, so worried about the commute. Alamo seems like a great place to raise a family and more land for the money than Lamorinda, but is it too far "out there"?

Default alamo

i'm a traveling nurse and recently lived Alamo. Danville/Alamo are two very very nice, safe, pretty places to live. Kids are able to roam safely around town. I call the town "Pleasantville" it is like the last nice town in the U.S. Everyone treated me very nicely. BART is in Walnut Creek about 2 miles from Alamo to get into the city.

What's wrong with the Oakland public schools

I agree with SummerAnn. Alamo and Walnut Creek are great, and the real estate is a much better deal than Danville/San Ramon/Pleasanton. Concord/Pleasant Hill and Dublin are dumps though.
