San Francisco
One of the most famous destinations in the world, San Francisco is truly a one-of-a-kind city. Known for opulent Victorians, classic cable cars, cultural diversity, a beautiful waterfront, and a soaring International Orange (yes, that is the official color) bridge, this city truly has it all. Offering trend-defining cuisine ranging from Michelin-starred dining to eclectic food trucks; world-renowned symphony, ballet, theater and opera; and boundless outdoor adventures, San Francisco justifiably stands out as one of the most distinct and exciting cities in the world.
Peninsula
Just south of San Francisco, a band of comfortable communities, with close proximity to the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and a variety of hotel options, curves along the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. San Mateo County offers walking trails along the Bay, winding roads in the Santa Cruz mountains, 60 miles of coastline, and a bevy of dining and recreational options in its cities and towns within the northern region of Silicon Valley.
East Bay
Just a short drive east of San Francisco, the East Bay comprises numerous diverse communities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. From urban cities, such as Oakland, to sleepy bedroom towns, such as Lafayette and Walnut Creek, there’s a community that suits any lifestyle. Mt. Diablo State Park, which includes the towering Mount Diablo, and the East Bay Regional Park District, which comprises more than 100,000 acres within 65 parks and includes more than 1,200 miles of trails, provides numerous recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.
