Alamo is a great place to live! It has been noted as being a safe place and the schools are top notch! The iron horse trail provides an outlet for excercising or enjoying family walks, as do the hills of Las trampas. There are many parks to enjoy like the Sugarloaf open space, Livorna Park, Rudgear park, and many other parks and dog parks. Being extremely close to San Francisco and Walnut Creek it is only minutes away from some seriously fun shopping or eating out with great friends!
