About

Tahos

Tahos, located between Orinda Village and the Lafayette border, is a residential and hillside Orinda neighborhood with winding lanes and oak-studded slopes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orinda Village area near Moraga Way and Camino Pablo, where sidewalk cafes, small boutiques, and the BART plaza set a low-key rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranch homes and custom builds tucked into the terrain, with frequent glimpses of ridgelines and canyon greenery. Orinda Theatre anchors local culture with a classic marquee and a calendar that keeps evenings active. The Orinda Farmers’ Market adds a weekly ritual of produce stands and prepared-food vendors. Trailheads and open-space edges shape daily routines with walks that feel removed from the commercial strip.
