Lafayette CA Real Estate:

Living in Lafayette is wonderful. Just ask the people who live here! "School rankings among the tops in the state...one of the lowest crime rates in the county... restaurants top notch, commute better than most...prestige town that's considered one of the best addresses in the East Bay... residents upper middle class or rich, well-educated, suburban, traveled, managerial or professional. At least one Nobel laureate... many kid activities, a lot of them organized by parents. The most popular seems to be soccer and swimming, and for girls, dancing and gymnastics, for boys, little league…Straddles Highway 24, the freeway to San Fran....Mix of trendy and traditional..." McCormack's Guide to Contra Costa County. Squirrels Restaurant: Squirrels is a Lafayette landmark. It’s like a step back in time to the 50’s and 60’s. I personally think they have the
best breakfasts in town! Try their #2 (eggs, toast and potatoes).
Their clam chowder on Friday is also especially good.
Just up the block around the corner on Oak Hill Rd. is Millie's Kitchen, another
Lafayette breakfast/lunch favorite for many years. It doesn't look at
all
fancy, more like someone's kitchen with lots of tables, but it's very popular.
Voted Best Breakfast 1995 & 1996, Best Pancakes 1999 in Diablo
Magazine's Best of the East Bay. Best Breakfast Joint 2001.
A pioneer school teacher, Margaret Bickerstaff planted the redwood trees in the front of the store back in the late 1800’s.
At the east end of Mt. Diablo Blvd., Lafayette’s first class hotel. Very pleasant facility, good restaurants.
