Curb appeal is bolstered by lush green lawns and plenty of trees and shrubbery. Houses are often separated by wooden fencing but neighbors are connected by sidewalks that encourage dog walkers and joggers to stop and say hello.

Green spaces include Len Hester Park and the Iron Horse Regional Trail

Len Hester Park is about 4 acres and has a walking path through picnic areas and children’s play equipment. Iron Horse Regional Trail is a rail trail that welcomes everyone from pedestrians to equestrians to cyclists. The trail follows a Southern Pacific Railroad that was established way back in 1891 and later abandoned in 1977. The trail was finished in 2014 and now stretches for 32 miles total. Connecting multiple communities, schools and commercial areas, the trail is a representation of decades of group efforts brought to fruition.

Access to shopping centers and I-680 for commutes around the Bay Area

Residents are near the Crossroads Shopping Center, where the Cheese Steak Shop offers a no-nonsense, counter service experience with Philadelphia-style cheesesteaks and hoagies. The founders focus on high-quality ingredients like the Amoroso rolls sourced directly from Philadelphia bakeries. Colony Park residents enjoy access to additional amenities like a little free library if you’re looking to spend a quiet afternoon indoors. Or if you’re heading outside the neighborhood, hop on Interstate 680, which can take you south to Walnut Creek or north to Concord and beyond to Port Chicago on the Suisun Bay.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
