Sleepy Hollow & Orinda Downs

Getting to the freeway can take 10+ minutes, but on the upside you’re a straight shot into Lafayette via Happy Valley, giving you two easy options for dinner out.

Welcome to Sleepy Hollow & Orinda Downs 

You get here by driving through the Country Club neighborhood and back into flatter terrain that was originally apple orchards and creeks. The houses date to the ‘60s and ‘70s, with pockets of development from the ‘80s. This is one of the East Bay neighborhoods where you’ll find the quintessential rancher with a picket fence and a flat backyard. Going up into the hills around the valley, you’ll find larger lots with larger and more custom houses, often with notable views and estate-level prices. The ranchers, because they’re usually beautifully updated and expanded, tend to start at $2.5 million. Most of these houses are in the Sleepy Hollow Elementary School zone. Getting to the freeway can take 10+ minutes, but on the upside you’re a straight shot into Lafayette via Happy Valley, giving you two easy options for dinner out.

 
*To determine with certainty which schools a particular house is affiliated with, do TWO things: go to the Orinda Union School District website and use the School Site Locator, entering the exact address of the property in question. Then (IMPORTANT), a phone that school directly and ask about space availability in the grade your child will enter.
