Suburban living with mountain views
Contra Loma is Spanish for “against the hill” and the neighborhood is just that with the Mount Diablo swells to its south. Located in Antioch, about 45 miles east of San Francisco, it’s where the East Bay suburbs meet the rolling mountain ranges of Contra Costa County. “It’s a really nice area, very quiet, and it’s just absolutely beautiful here,” says Anita Luthra, a local Realtor with Realty One Group Elite who has been in the real estate business for 14 years. “You’ll find mostly two-story houses here and they tend to sit on the market for a little while.”

Public parks and hiking trails
Community parks and green spaces are a major perk for residents of Contra Loma. “You’re about a mile away from Mount Diablo, and there are trails accessible from the neighborhood that will take you right into Contra Loma Regional Park,” McGee says. Contra Loma Regional Park’s meadowy hillsides are a brilliant shade of green in the spring and summer months before transforming into a straw-yellow color in the fall and winter. The park is a popular spot for hiking, picnicking, fishing and boating. Locals can also enjoy the outdoors at Chichibu Park, a 5-acre greenspace with a playground, tennis court, meadows and a picnic area, or swing by Gentrytown Park for a pickup game of baseball. Golfers tee up at Lone Tree Golf & Event Center, an 18-hole course with fairways and greens that wind through rich, coastal scenery.
