Piedmont, California, is a small, suburban city that is surrounded entirely by Oakland. Incorporated in 1907, Piedmont has significantly developed since the 1920s. The city became known as the ‘City of Millionaires’ during its age of growth. Millionaires from all over came to settle their lives along the shoreline, many of the original extravagant homes still located on Sotelo Avenue and Sea View Avenue. Mark Andrews, Alex Hirsch, and Clint Eastwood are but a few millionaires that once resided in Piedmont. The small city is now home predominantly to single-sized families dedicated to taking great care of their kids’ future. It is no wonder the school system is amongst one of the highest-rated in the area.
When planning a trip to Piedmont, be sure to check out the various attractions available. For wine lovers, the Napa Valley & Sonoma Wine Country tour is a great place to spend the day. Visitors ride along with experts as they guide them through the history of winemaking. As they walk through the lands, they get to enjoy some of the most delicate wine tastings in the world. Another great adventure to take is the Alcatraz Island tour. Delve into the history of the former prison by ferry and then head over to Sausalito’s Shoreside town to continue the adventure.
