East Contra Costa offers a quiet lifestyle close to nature
East Contra Costa is far — nearly 50 miles — from San Francisco and the Bay Area, unlike coastal West Contra Costa. “Here’s the key though, a lot of people are working from home these days. Instead of renting somewhere small in Silicon Valley, they can buy their own big house somewhere like East Contra Costa,” says Realtor David Azimi of Intero Real Estate Services, who specializes in the Bay Area. Defined by its agricultural community and open spaces, East Contra Costa offers a quiet lifestyle in a modest-for-the-area price range.
