Homebuyers Can Come By For a Walk But May Be Tempted to Stay

Homebuyers trying to decide whether the largely suburban residential area of Dana Estates is the place for them may want to consider visiting this Concord neighborhood. Located in the outer East Bay, Dana Estates is the type of place where everyone knows the local dog-walker. It’s where a sea of suburban homes, wide streets, parks and public schools are woven into the district's fabric and community gatherings are packed with spirit. “It’s just a great little neighborhood,” says Vivian Miller, a Realtor with Keller Williams, who lives and works in Dana Estates. “People are always walking around or walking their dogs.” Concord, a city of about 130,000 residents and the largest municipality in Contra Costa County was an agricultural hub in the region until the last century. Today, centrally located Dana Estates is a largely residential area with a wealth of single-family homes with a community garden, swimming pool and shopping center.

Plenty to Do and Comraderies Too

When the Dana Estates Neighborhood Association isn’t holding informational meetings, holiday parties or other events designed to unite, residents have plenty of other options for outdoor activity. Summer fun is heightened at Gehringer Park Recreation Club where there’s a competition-sized lap pool, diving board, volleyball courts, playgrounds and a picnic area with barbecue pits. Right next door, there’s a large community garden where residents can rent out small plots to grow flowers, fruits and vegetables. For larger spaces to roam, residents head to Willow Pass Community Park, a 40-acre greenspace with pickleball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamonds and a batting cage. It’s also where children can ride on the Pixieland Amusement Park vintage carousel, a spinning teacup ride and the Pixieland Express Train. For indoor exercise and fitness classes, residents sign up for a membership at Fitness 19, a local gym in the neighborhood.

Willow Pass Community Park is one of the most popular places to play pickleball in Concord.
