Danville Named One Of Nicest Small Towns In NorCal: WorldAtlas

DANVILLE, CA — Being named one of Northern California’s nicest towns is no small feat. This region of towering redwoods, sun-soaked wineries, majestic mountains, and shimmering coastline is full of towns that are just as beautiful as the landscape surrounding them.

Travel website WorldAtlas placed Danville third on its list of the “11 Nicest Small Towns in Northern California.”

“This dynamic town in the San Ramon Valley impresses guests with its charming blend of history, entertainment, and adventure,” the ranking reads, citing the charming downtown, the Blackhawk Museum, Blackhawk Plaza, and the Village Theatre & Art Gallery, and Diablo Vista Park as top attractions.

Danville is no stranger to “best of” lists. Home security analyst SafeWise ranked it the safest city in California every year from 2018 to 2022, based on FBI crime statistics. In 2023, it was ranked the 17th wealthiest community with over 25,000 people in the country based on median household income five-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2021 American Community Survey analyzed in a report from 24/7 Wall St.

Danville’s in good company: Other towns on the WorldAtlas list include Sonoma, Half Moon Bay, Mendocino, Sausalito, and Bodega Bay.
