It is in the local area still referred to as the Town of Danville and it still preserves the characteristics of a
town — being compact, largely self sufficient as far as shopping goes, and having only a single commercial center.
Its downtown is noted for its somewhat rustic charm, intensively upgraded owning to its now extremely affluent
demographics and its popularity as a regional destination for dining and light shopping. It does not have its own
hospital, being well served by nearby regional medical centers, nor, with the exception of a Costco location
near its boundary with San Ramon, does it host the "heavy shopping" provided by shopping malls located in nearby
cities only a short freeway drive to the north or south. Danville's main street is Hartz Ave in downtown Danville.

The Iron Horse Trail runs through Danville. Extending all the way from Dublin to Concord, the trail passes right
through this town. Bikers, skaters, and joggers usually find the Trail a source of outdoor recreation and exercise.
Furthermore, the Trail is relatively isolated from the heavy traffic on the main road; so it's a safe path to travel on.
