The Neighborhood

Perhaps the most rural area of Lafayette, Reliez Valley reveals remnants of Lafayette's farming past; a few original farmhouses can still be found intermingled with larger estates.

A bucolic character, paired with close proximity to bordering towns, provides Reliez Valley residents with the best of both town and country living. Distinct neighborhoods include gated Baywood, Black Hawk Road with its wide streets and cul-de-sacs, Springhill Valley (within walking distance to Springhill Elementary School), Silver Dell, and Rancho View Knolls, where every lot is at least one acre in size.

“Reliez Valley is Lafayette’s most rural neighborhood. It is nestled in the pastoral hills, dotted with cows and horse pastures. A major draw to this area is easy access to Briones Regional Park, scenic cycling routes, larger parcels of land, and the neighboring towns of Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill and Martinez.” —Dana
