Walnut Creek, just a short distance from some of the country's most beautiful and desirable travel destinations, is truly the perfect place to make a home. Just minutes west by way of Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) lays San Francisco, a world-renowned travel destination. Less than an hour north are Napa and Sonoma Valley, producers of some of the world's most prestigious wines. The quaint vacation towns of Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea are a short day trip to the south, and the snow-capped mountains surrounding pristine Lake Tahoe are just a few hours to the east.
The traditional downtown, located in the heart of Walnut Creek, is full of personality and charm. This area is home to Broadway Plaza with over 98 specialty shops, unique boutiques, friendly patio cafes and an extraordinary array of excellent restaurants. Located nearby is the 850 seat Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts.
Walnut Creek also provides excellent opportunities for outdoor activities including community parks offering recreational and educational programs and classes, two dozen tennis courts throughout the city, championship golf courses, numerous hiking and biking trails and camping locations with breathtaking views, and 1,780 acres of preserved undeveloped open space, with over 20 miles of hiking and equestrian trails. |
