Walnut Creek
Downtown sophistication, open-space backdrop
The vibe
The retail and dining hub of central Contra Costa, framed by Mount Diablo and thousands of acres of open space. A polished downtown, performing arts, and top-tier amenities.
The housing
From downtown condos and the famed Rossmoor 55+ community to substantial single-family homes in Northgate and tree-lined established neighborhoods.
Who it's great for
Move-up buyers, downsizers, and anyone who wants a walkable downtown lifestyle east of the tunnel.
