What can I expect when looking for Walnut Creek CA homes for sale? What neighborhoods in Walnut Creek are right for me?
Walnut Creek real estate is contained in almost 20 square miles, and have the variety you'd expect in an area of that size. Homes nearest freeways are also nearest the BART transportation system.
Zip codes include:
94595 - Southern Walnut Creek - Rossmoor (55+) and Saranap neighborhoods (bordering Lafayette and Alamo). Saranap has a rural, hilly, winding, charming feel. Walnut Creek homes in the northern and western parts of the 94595 zip code have excellent freeway access, and are convenient to the Broadway Plaza shopping area.
94596 - Central and Southeastern Walnut Creek - Downtown and Walnut/Rudgear neighborhoods (bordering Lafayette and Alamo). Walnut Creek Condos for sale are generally concentrated in the northern part of the 94596 zip code, but new upscale condos and townhomes with an urban feel can be found within blocks of the thriving downtown area. The Almondy/Shuey neighborhood within this zipcode includes charming 2 and 3 bedroom cottages, blocks from downtown conveniences and restaurants. The Rudgear area, bordering Alamo, has a much more rural feel.
94597 - Northwestern Walnut Creek - Overlook, Larkey Park, Palos Verdes, Contra Costa Centre neighborhoods (bordering Pleasant Hill and Lafayette). Some Walnut Creek condominiums can be found in the eastern part of the 94597 zip code. The northern part of the 94597 zip code has a significant number of affordable older, smaller homes - some newly-renovated. Homes in the 94597 zip code generally have excellent freeway access, and are served by the Pleasant Hill BART station (acually located in northern Walnut Creek).
94598 - Eastern Walnut Creek - Diablo Shadows, Carriage Square, San Miguel, Northgate, Ygnacio Valley neighborhoods (bordering Clayton and Concord). Some condominium developments are found in the western part of the 94598 zip code, near Diablo Hills golf and Heather Farm park. The far eastern part of the 94598 zip code , with suburban developments and some of the largest properties, is the farthest Walnut Creek area from BART and freeways- if your're commuting, this can add up to 1/2 an hour to your drive. The new "Orchards" shopping center and a Whole Foods market bring a lot of convenient shopping to the area.
