The City of Millionaires 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Living in the city of Piedmont is an amazing, yet expensive experience. When I lived in Piedmont, there was never a dull day.

The city itself is very popular because it is surrounded ...Read More by other well-known cities such as Oakland and San Francisco.
