Renting at Moraga Country Club
Moraga Country Club doesn't have a leasing office. When a home here becomes available to rent, it's because an individual owner decided to lease rather than sell. Those decisions don't follow a schedule, and the best opportunities often never reach Zillow.
What Rentals Look Like Here
MCC has 15 distinct floor plans across 521 homes, so availability varies widely. Rent ranges accordingly.
Mid-size homes
3 bed · ~1,600–1,800 sq ft
Estimated $5,000–5,500/month
Larger or newer townhomes
4–5 bed · 2,200+ sq ft
$6,300–7,000/month
Larger detached homes
3,500+ sq ft
$7,400+/month
For context, the broader Moraga market averages around $5,000/month for houses. MCC commands a premium when homes are updated, offer single-level living, golf course or lagoon outlooks, or newer systems like solar and EV charging.
Who Rents at MCC
The people who rent here tend to fall into a few recognizable groups.
Relocating Executives and Families
Coming from San Francisco or the broader Bay Area, drawn by Lamorinda schools, Orinda BART access, and a lifestyle that's hard to replicate at this price point. Many are here on a corporate relocation timeline with a defined end date.
Trial Buyers
Living inside MCC for a year before purchasing is more common than people expect. You learn which floor plans live well, which streets have the best light, and whether the club lifestyle suits you. Several of Ben's buyer clients have rented in the community first.
Owners in Transition
Handling a nearby remodel, waiting on a new construction timeline, or managing a family situation that requires flexibility. These tenants know the community and typically make excellent renters.
What Renters Should Know
Club Access Varies by Lease
Club privileges for renters are not automatic. Some leases include pool, tennis, and social access. Others don't. MCC also requires a formal tenant registration ($100 fee, $1,000 HOA security deposit) separate from what the landlord collects. Get club access terms in writing before signing.
Pets Are Case by Case
At least one recent listing explicitly allowed cats and dogs. Pet approval is property-specific. Expect questions about breed, size, and number of animals, and confirm terms in the lease and HOA rules.
Short-Term Rentals Are Complicated
The Town of Moraga has moved toward rules requiring a minimum stay and owner presence for short-term rentals. MCC's CC&Rs may impose additional restrictions. Short-term, furnished, or corporate arrangements should be verified against current Town rules and HOA documents.
No Rent Control
Moraga does not have a local rent control ordinance. Statewide California protections under AB 1482 may apply depending on the property's exemption status.
