Overhill, Orinda, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Key Words:
Hillside tranquility, Classic Orinda architecture, Convenient yet tucked away
Overhill sits just east of downtown Orinda, spreading across a quiet network of hillside streets that curve between Glorietta Boulevard and Moraga Way. The area has a distinctly classic Orinda feel-spacious lots, mature trees, and a mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer custom builds tucked into the slopes. Many properties take advantage of their elevation with broad decks or patios overlooking the valley. Its location makes it convenient yet insulated. Residents can reach BART and Theatre Square in a few minutes, while Meadow Swim & Tennis Club and Glorietta Elementary sit nearby for recreation and daily needs. Roads like Overhill Road and Hillcrest Drive are narrow and winding, which contributes to the neighborhood’s secluded atmosphere but requires cautious driving. The natural landscape is a defining feature here-rolling hills, deep green views, and quiet streets without through traffic. While sidewalks are limited, the neighborhood feels safe and settled, with a strong sense of privacy and timeless curb appeal.
