Oak Springs, located between Moraga Way and Camino Pablo, is a residential and hillside Orinda neighborhood with oak-studded slopes and winding, low-traffic lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Moraga Way corridor near Orinda Village, where sidewalk cafes, small boutiques, and a steady rhythm of errands set the tone. Community touchstones include Orinda Theatre, Orinda Books, and the Orinda Farmers’ Market for film nights, author talks, and weekend stalls. Homes lean toward mid-century ranches and updated traditional builds, often set back behind mature trees. Trailheads and open-space edges shape daily routines with short walks into the hills. The setting feels quiet and green, with town-center culture close by without feeling busy.
