I've lived here in San Ramon since 1995. My wife and I raised our children here after moving from Vallejo. The school system was great at the time and children have all graduated from Cal High and moved on to higher learning and adulthood.
Crime was nearly non-existent when we moved here, but the new Next Door app indicates that there is more crime than meets the eye. Petty theft, car break ins and package theft are now commonplace. People will even steal your DoorDash and Grubhub food drop-off. Shame on people.
Jobs? There is Bishop Ranch where many businesses flourish. Chevron, Bank of the West, 24 Hour Fitness, Toyota and more. Not everyone will find a job here and so that makes San Ramon a sort of "bedroom community" where residents have to commute to work.
Housing: Once upon a time, you could buy a house on the cheap if you bought long ago, think 1990's and then the recession. That no longer exists and housing is EXPENSIVE! My home increased $1,000,000.
Love it!

San Ramon is one of the safesty neighborhoods in the easy bay area. I have lived here my entire life and I would say I am very lucky to have lived in this town. There are many things to do, places to eat, and they recently opened the City Center which is basically like a mall with a theater and good foods and a farmers market on the weekends! There are also many public schools to choose from, the schools that I went to were very nice and safe.
People rave about the schools but honestly they’re not that great. Administrators and teachers are mediocre at best. Reason why schools here perform well is because the affluent families send their kids to tutoring and other academic prep to makeup for the lack of teaching from the schools here.
Crime has gone up considerably since I’ve been here (20 yrs). City and police try to play it down instead of increasing police patrol. You rarely see police presence unless it’s a speed trap.
Demographic has also changed dramatically. San Ramon has become another Fremont.
Greedy builders keep building homes and the city let’s them. It’s crowded and over populated. Schools are crowded and many new residents can’t even send their kids to their designated schools. No plans to build more schools but every month another new house or apartments are built!
Do your homework before moving to San Ramon!
