THE FEEL OF THE PLACE
Reservoir walks. Downtown connections.
The reservoir, oak and bay-laurel trails, and a BART connection give Lafayette a distinct relationship between outdoors and everyday life.
EBMUD’s Lafayette Reservoir is a day-use recreation area with lakeside and rim routes. The city’s Moraga Road connector reaches the reservoir rim through oak and bay-laurel landscape. Check the operator’s current access and construction notices when planning a visit.

A plan that fits you.
The actual property, your income, ownership costs and timing belong in the same conversation.
- What costs should be budgeted beyond principal and interest?
- If buying while selling, what happens if either closing date changes?

Lafayette Circle, Mt. Diablo Boulevard & the reservoir
Explore the downtown around Lafayette Circle and Mt. Diablo Boulevard, then give the reservoir a visit of its own. The city’s Moraga Road connector reaches the reservoir rim through oak and bay-laurel landscape. Check the route and elevation rather than assuming every trail is a flat lakeside walk.
Make room for both downtown and the reservoir, then check your actual daily connections from the home.
