Local Experts in Lafayette, Not a Distant Call Center

Lafayette, a Top-Schools Lamorinda Community With Premium Rents

From homes near top-rated Acalanes schools to properties along the quiet wooded hills, Lafayette rewards owners who price and market to the right family renter. Our managers know this market, so your decisions rest on real local knowledge, not a distant script.

Lafayette is one of the most sought-after communities in the Lamorinda area of Contra Costa County, prized for its top-rated Acalanes and Lafayette school districts, a walkable downtown, and quiet, wooded single-family neighborhoods. Demand comes largely from families and professionals who commute via Lafayette BART or Highway 24 and want space, good schools and a calmer setting than the inner East Bay. That profile keeps quality single-family rentals in short supply and in strong demand.

Intempus pairs a local Lafayette expert with in-house technology: an owner portal for real-time statements, online rent collection and a 24/7 maintenance line, so nothing slips through the cracks. Our fees are transparent and itemized, with no hidden costs, and careful tenant screening keeps our eviction rate under 1% on placed tenants.

What makes Lafayette a place renters want to call home.

Lafayette neighborhoods each carry their own rental character, from the open trails and family feel of Burton Valley to the elegant hillside homes of Happy Valley, the rural calm of Reliez Valley, and the walkable energy of Downtown Lafayette close to shops and BART.

Lafayette schools are a major draw for family renters. The A-rated Lafayette School District feeds Stanley Middle School, while high schoolers attend the highly regarded Acalanes High School, part of the top-performing Acalanes Union High School District serving the wider Lamorinda area.

There is no shortage of things to do in Lafayette. The Lafayette Reservoir offers a scenic 2.7-mile loop with fishing and boating, nearby Briones Regional Park adds miles of hiking trails, and a lively downtown hosts festivals year-round. Six parks and 16 miles of trails make living in Lafayette appealing to active tenants.
