With its top tier schools, Mediterranean climate, and thriving walkable downtown, it's no wonder why many don't desire to leave the "Danville Bubble."
Commute
Most residents use a personal vehicle for their primary mode of transportation. The city is pushing for more sustainable transport options by offering incentives for residents who choose to adopt them (ie e-bikes, Contra Costa Connection, Vanpools etc).

Danville is a fun mix of trendy specialty boutiques, restaurants, and a bustling art scene. Head to Blackhawk Plaza for outdoor shopping, dining, a world famous museum, playgrounds, and other outdoor activities. Thirsty? Elliot's, established in 1907 and one of the Bay's oldest dive bars, offers great drinks and an awesome spot for people watching. Restaurants of note: Sideboard Neighborhood Kitchen, Covina Hermanos, and Locando Ravello. Those with an affinity for the outdoors will find Mount Diablo State Park in the East, Las Trampas in the West, and the Iron Horse Regional trail down the middle.
