Good apartments in the Bay Area?

My roommate and I are currently looking for apartments in the San Francisco Bay area. We’ve pretty much narrowed our search down to these cities/towns: Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga. We’re looking for a two bedroom, one bathroom place that has a pleasant view from the windows and that doesn’t have a 1960s feel to it. The interior doesn’t have to be super recent modern, but it would be nice if at least a few of the walls were different colors and the kitchen had attractive, working appliances. Closeness to BART is also preferred. Anything come to mind?
