A rural enclave 30 mins from the city.
Wilder is nestled in a secluded valley within the city limits of Orinda. Located just off Wilder Road (the second exit east of the Caldecott Tunnel), it’s an easy 30-minute drive to San Francisco, and less than that if you take Bay Area Rapid Transit from the Orinda station.

It’s a comfortable environment, made even more so by the remarkably mild climate. And everything that Orinda has to offer – the shops, parks, concerts, cafes, the outstanding public schools and the inimitable small-town atmosphere – is minutes away.
