What it’s like to live in Downtown Walnut Creek
Urban convenience defines Downtown Walnut Creek, where mixed-use developments create walkable living rare in typically car-dependent suburban communities. The district centers around Broadway Plaza's upscale shopping and numerous restaurants creating vibrant street life unusual for East Bay suburbs. Though rental rates reflect the premium location, the combination of walkable amenities and BART access to San Francisco employment typically justifies the investment for those prioritizing convenience over maximum square footage in more isolated residential areas.
