"Quiet and Engaged Caballo Hills"

Lived here for 6 years and have enjoyed it immensely. We know many of our neighbors, feel safe walking around at any time. It's not a dense neighborhood, but lots of open space around us yet, with the addition of Merritt College - walking access to Bus Lines. Leona Canyon nature trails are here - lots of hills to work out on. Amazing views of downtown Oakland and SF. Nice, paved wide streets. Wish people would slow down a bit more and obey the 30 MPH speed limits on Campus Drive. Lots of people out with their dogs every day. Not a ton of kids, but my HOA has a pool and in the Summer, there are plenty of kiddies in the pool. Very diverse, with higher educated folks as the home prices are up there. Only a 5 minute drive to a local Safeway, dry cleaners, Peets Cafe, liquor store and a GREAT local arts/craft (locally owned) store where we've bought most of our gifts over the years.
