San Ramon is located on 14 square miles of the San Ramon Valley and has long been considered one of the most desirable living areas in the Bay Area because of its scenic beauty, good climate, excellent schools and parks, and proximity to the Bay Area's major employment centers. It is one of the San Francisco Bay Area's premier residential communities.

The City encompasses a major regional employment center, Bishop Ranch, which is home to over 200 companies, including Global 500 companies such as Chevron, Bank of America, IBM, and AT&T. Over 21,000 office workers commute daily to the employment center. With easy access and a full range of services, it is little wonder that San Ramon is one of Contra Costa County's most exciting and progressive cities.
