Upscale suburban living in the outskirts of the East Bay
Surrounded by golf courses and country clubs, Deer Ridge/Marsh Creek is a suburban East Bay community where residents are ensconced by luxury living, new homes, highly rated schools and the green foothills of the Mount Diablo Mountain range. “I’ve probably sold more homes than anyone in Deer Ridge, and I can say without a doubt that schools are the number one reason people are moving here,” says Realtor Jeff Kenney of JDK & Associates Realty, who lives in Deer Ridge. The neighborhood is situated at the southern edge of Brentwood, bordered by wide-open green space on one side and sprawling cherry orchards and farmland on the other. It’s about 55 miles from San Francisco and 74 miles from Sacramento.

Country clubs, horse farms and golf courses galore
Upscale and luxury amenities are the hallmarks of this neighborhood. Club Los Meganos, the centerpiece of the Marsh Creek subdivision, is a massive luxury resort with a pool, spa, a gym and restaurant. It’s a popular place in the neighborhood for socializing, dining and weddings. Across the street, golfers can book a tee time at the Brentwood Golf Course or head north to Shadow Lakes Club. East of the neighborhood is the greater Marsh Creek community where horse farms, orchards and agriculture begin and the suburbs end. “There are a lot of horse farms and horse trails out in Marsh Creek. One time I was getting McDonald’s out there, and I was in the drive-thru, and when I turned the corner there was someone on a horse at the pick-up window,” Kenney says.

Community parks, Mount Diablo hiking
Oak Meadow Park is the neighborhood’s largest community park. Located next to Krey Elementary School, there’s plenty of room for a baseball game, a soccer match or enjoying a picnic in a grassy field. The kids can play on the playground equipment while a paved walkway provides the opportunity to get your steps in. Several dog-friendly parks — Pupperino’s Park and Puppotron’s Field — are a great spot to let the dogs run around off-leash. Hiking opportunities are plentiful here. The neighborhood backs up to Marsh Creek State Historic Park and Round Valley Regional Preserve, both of which offer trails that wind across the Mount Diablo foothills.

Getting around the East Bay
While commuting to downtown San Francisco can be as much as two hours one way, there are plenty of commuters in the area. “You can get more for your money here for a lower price than closer to San Francisco,” says Realtor Brian Sharpe of Sharpe Realty, a longtime area resident. “If you don’t want to fight the traffic, it’s a short drive to Antioch to catch the BART train into town.” Antioch is the easternmost stop for the Bay Area Rapid Transit train system. Those in need of medical care can head to John Muir Health Urgent Care and Outpatient Center in Deer Ridge.
