There are amazing attributes of Alamo. Growing up here, it was extremely safe and included wonderful schools. However, people can occasionally be very close-minded. I would like to see people be more accepting and less judgemental. It is also very expensive, but it makes sense in such a wonderful area! The location of Alamo is key, because you can easily travel to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, or Napa!
I live in Alamo and would consider it a very safe suburb. Excellent public schools in the area, with a great restaurant and downtown scene either in Danville or Walnut Creek, both very close by. Very expensive place to live mostly populated by families and couples. Not known for diversity, but very small welcoming community.
Alamo is a very small and country feeling CDP. It's definitely on the pricier side of town, with a generally affluent population. Most of the children that grow up here go to one of two elementary schools, middle schools, then go to Danville or Walnut Creek for high school. It's definitely a very safe and neighborhood driven community.
