Del Rey, located between Orinda Village and the Moraga border, is a residential and hillside Orinda neighborhood with winding lanes and oak-studded open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orinda Village area at Moraga Way and Brookwood Road, where sidewalk cafes, small boutiques, and the BART plaza set a polished, low-key rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranch homes and updated California contemporaries tucked into sloped lots. Orinda Theatre anchors local culture with a classic marquee and a steady calendar. Orinda Books and the Orinda Farmers’ Market add a distinctly local cadence to weekends. Trailheads and parkland frame daily routines with shade, birdsong, and long views.
