Walnut Creek

Walnut Creek is about 6 miles away from where we live in Danville.  This was the first area we checked out when the move was a possibility and we simply fell in love with it.  The shopping, restaurants and bars are amazing and it reminds us a bit of Bellevue which made us feel at home.  Although we decided to reside in Danville due to the cool neighborhoods, walkability and parks – we still visit Walnut Creek at least 1-2 times a week. 

A little more about Walnut Creek taken from Wikipedia:  An incorporated city located 16 miles (26 km) east of the city of Oakland. It lies in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. While not as large as neighboring Concord, Walnut Creek serves as the business and entertainment hub for the neighboring cities within central Contra Costa County, due in part to its location at the junction of the highways from Sacramento and San Jose (I-680) and San Francisco/Oakland (SR-24), as well as its accessibility by BART. The city had a total population of 65,384 as of January 2008 according to the California Department of Finance.
