Lakeside BR 2600 — Local services in San Ramon

​This particular spot in San Ramon, located right outside the Chevron office, is truly a local treasure, especially as the seasons turn. My recent visit during the cool November weather was absolutely delightful. The crisp air and the gentle sunlight created a perfect atmosphere for a relaxing walk. ​The entire area offers a unique blend of corporate proximity and natural serenity. While its location is convenient, stepping onto the walking path transports you far from the workday bustle. The well-maintained grounds and mature trees, which were shedding beautiful autumn leaves, made the stroll feel like a peaceful retreat. ​What truly elevated the experience, however, was the serene environment that fostered genuine connection. The tranquility of the setting, particularly near the water and the impressive wall structure, provided the ideal backdrop for a meaningful and deep conversation with my wife. It’s rare to find a place that is both accessible and quiet enough to allow for such intentional moments. The beauty of the landscape seemed to encourage reflection, turning a simple walk into an unforgettable memory. ​Whether you're looking for a peaceful lunch break or a beautiful place to enjoy a moment of quiet reflection with a loved one, this spot delivers. It is the perfect place to appreciate the subtle beauty of San Ramon and enjoy...

UPDATE: Considering upping my star rating to 3 instead of 1, because it's now so cold in our office building that I have just unplugged my fridge at home and I leave all my produce and meats in my work office. No refrigeration necessary when you work at Bishop Ranch. I've used the electricity savings to purchase Antarctica-expedition-rated gloves and parka to wear to work to keep warm. Also, this took me 20 minutes to type as my fingers are numb.

If you like office temperatures alternating daily between frigid arctic tundra and sweltering rain forest (so your employees wont know whether to dress appropriately for work and sweat all day, or to bring 2 puffy coats to leave on all day), parking half a mile from the door so you can walk by 50 perpetually-unused "1 hour parking" spots, low-stock-grade paper thin walls (and floors), and sky high office rental price tags, Bishop Ranch is for you!

I'd give it 3/5 starts if they didn't advertise themselves as Class A office space, because you truly get a truly 3 star class B experience.

Buildings are aesthetically pleasing but it's kind of difficult to get any work here when it's 50 degrees one day and 75 the next. Rent should be lower considering neither the AC nor heat...

I wish I had taken photos so I could add them to the review. The landscaping is immaculate. I know for office buildings people typically review the office space itself, but the outdoor space in this area was simply amazing. You can walk outside and be next to a large lake with an eating area on a floating dock. There are also plenty of places to go on a walk through lavender bushes or other beautiful plants. The office spaces were large and accommodating and would work well for...
