Both charming and historic Alamo is the most tranquil and "off the beaten path" area in the San Ramon
Valley Community. It adjoins Danville and Walnut Creek, and remains one of the least populated towns,
hosting fewer residences than most of the other towns in Contra Costa County. In 1852 the first and
only post office between Martinez and Mission San Jose was established.
Today, Alamos' steeped hillsides and heavily landscaped terrain and valleys provide seclusion and serenity for residents
enjoying a quieter pace of living in the area. It has a variety
of homes, parks and two shopping areas --- all in a setting of remarkable beauty.
Alamo climbs a third of Mt. Diablo's west face, rivaling Filbert Street in San Francisco.
Luxury homes dveloped on 1/2 acre parcels that were once orchards and wheat fields adorn the countryside.
It boasts the steepest paved road in Contra Costa County, which is Castle Crest Road.
