Moving to the city of San Francisco can be quite expensive, even if you have a steady, high-paying tech job and enough savings and good credit to afford a comfortable mortgage payment. As a result of this crowding in the SF marketplace, savvy homebuyers and developers have been looking for real estate opportunities in satellite communities with an easy commute, like Walnut Creek.
Several years ago, Walnut Creek had a reputation for being a sleepy commuter town — almost boring, even. However, in recent years, the community has blossomed and become a hip epicenter packed with chic restaurants, shopping, art and vibrant night life. The Regional Center for the Arts boasts three theaters that produce 900 shows per year as well as a free trolley that takes residents around the downtown shopping district, featuring many local and San Francisco-based stores.
Walnut Creek contains 22 parks, for a total of over 2,700 acres of green space. More than 50 species of wild, native animals can be found at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. With a “livability score” of 82, Walnut Creek is ranked in the top 100 places to live in California (and Top 10 Great Neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area). There’s no surprise that Californians are moving to Walnut Creek at increasing rates.
Walnut Creek’s affordable housing market allows for a mix of blue and white collar workers; families, seniors, and singles to come together and create a diverse set of neighborhoods. Young families are comfortable purchasing their first homes here as well, thanks in part to the excellent local school system.
