Tahos, Orinda, CA
Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Key Words:
Hillside views, Convenient freeway access, Private, wooded streets
Tahos sits just south of Highway 24, connecting Orinda to Lafayette through a series of winding hillside roads like Tahos Road, Silverwood Drive, and Bates Boulevard. The neighborhood combines convenience with a distinctly tucked-away atmosphere, offering residents quick access to the freeway while maintaining a quiet, residential feel. Homes here are largely custom-built, with a range of styles from mid-century designs to modern remodels. Many properties are perched on sloped lots surrounded by oak and pine, giving them both privacy and views. The streets are narrow and curvy, which keeps traffic light but makes it less walkable. Residents are a short drive from the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church and local swim and tennis clubs, as well as Glorietta Elementary and downtown Orinda. Tahos appeals to those looking for a hillside neighborhood with character, mature trees, and easy access to both Orinda and Lafayette. It feels distinctly local and established, shaped by its terrain and long-settled homes.
