The Northgate Area-  Comprised of many neighborhoods with a lot of homes. Located in East Walnut Creek, most of the homes were built in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's and have long been popular for their traditional style single and two story floorplans. 

New Northgate- Some of the newer constructed Walnut Creek homes are located in the Northgate Area. Subdivisions like Rancho Paraiso were built throughout the 90's by Herald Smith Construction. 

The Woodlands- Once nothing but farmland and walnut groves. This all changed in 1961 and 1962 when several developers, including Leadership, MacKay and Hofman, were the first to break ground and build the Woodlands.

Lake Lakewood Area- It's always a surprise to anyone who doesn't know, that there's a lake in Walnut Creek. Lake Lakewood was man made and has a lot of history. Most of the home development in Lakewood began in the 1930's when it was expected that the opening of the Caldecott Tunnel would increase demand for homes in Walnut Creek.

Crystyl Ranch- Crystyl Ranch is a beautiful neighborhood nestled in the Mt. Diablo foothills of Concord, Ca. Located between Walnut Creek and Clayton, homes in Crystyl Ranch are close in proximity to parks, shopping, dining, entertainment, schools and just about the best the East Bay has to offer.

Chateau Ridge- Chateau Ridge is a wonderful neighborhood settled in the foothills of Martinez, Ca. The neighborhood has a private setting with most of the homes backing to the open space and green belt. 

Valley High- These beautiful homes were built by the well know builder, Davidon Homes.  There are many home models to choose from, ranging from single stories to split level homes. The 3-4 bedroom homes have luxury features including skylit entry halls, vaulted ceilings, wet bars, woodburning fireplaces and spacious Master suites.

Alamo, CA- Alamo, CA is an unincorporated community with high demand real estate. It is located in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, nestled between Walnut Creek and Danville.

Time to Think

DateThursday, June 17, 2010 at 1:42AM

Living in Walnut Creek, I feel that homes in this city will always be in demand. Even though it's a tough market, the prices of real estate here are not crashing. They are pretty much leveling out. If you are selling, make sure your home is priced right to sell, not to sit. I live in a city that is about to open a $42 million dollar library, new restaurants downtown, and with Neiman Marcus coming soon, Walnut Creek just keeps getting better and better.

Since homes are staying on the market longer, buyers have more time to think about making the right purchase. When homes were going fast, it was a crazy time for buyers because they had to think fast. Buyers probably made some regretful decisions during those years, ending up with a home they really didn't want. Today, buyers have more choices, time, and can search for what they whant at a slower pace. This evens the playing field. And interest rates are so low! If you are new to my website, haven't watched my videos or want to buy a new home, I encourage you to watch "Homebuyer Tax Credit." Learn about Assembly Bill 183 and how you can get a $10k tax credit for buying a new or an existing home. THIS IS ALSO IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER! Again, it's an amazing time to buy.
