Nestled in the rolling oak-covered hills of Contra Costa County, Orinda combines natural surroundings with suburban convenience. Originally a rural area known for ranching and summer cabins, Orinda has evolved since its incorporation in 1985. The downtown area features local shops and restaurants, while the historic Orinda Theatre, built in 1941, remains a centerpiece of the community's arts and entertainment scene.
Apartments in Orinda offer peaceful living with excellent connectivity via the Orinda BART station, providing direct access to San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. The area is served by the Orinda Union School District and Acalanes Union High School District. Nature enthusiasts can explore nearby Briones Reservoir, Tilden Regional Park, and extensive trail networks throughout the surrounding hills. The Mediterranean climate brings warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. With approximately 19,500 residents, Orinda maintains its small-town character while offering convenient access to neighboring Bay Area cities.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
