Small community with big urban convenience next to downtown Concord
Islandis is a small community bordering downtown Concord and Ellis Lake. It's known for its convenient proximity to public transportation, bustling city center parks and trendy lifestyle offerings. "The area is near the central hub of the city," says Wendy Moore, a lead Realtor with The Estates by Wendy Team. “There are countless shops, restaurants and corporate headquarters nearby.” Islandis’ small housing stock makes it unique from its neighboring communities – as it primarily consists of multi-family residences and rentals with one pocket of longstanding single-family homes not often on the market. Although more residentially limited than nearby neighborhoods, residents who live here enjoy the many perks of urban living, including high walkability.
Exploring the hidden gems of Islandis is always a delightful adventure.
Islandis' Detroit Avenue is a busy commuter route as it connects to downtown Concord.

Multi-family residences and a pocket of ranch-style homes
The neighborhood’s streetscapes feature clusters of mature native trees, giving the area a quieter residential feel for being right next to bustling commercial corridors. While apartment buildings primarily line the streets, sprinkles of contemporary condo buildings and townhouses are woven within these, particularly within the Taxco condo community and the Laguna Townhome development. Condo prices typically range from $275,000 to $350,000, while townhouses range from $400,000 to $450,000. Detached single-family homes are in the neighborhood’s southern corridor. These display traditional and contemporary ranch-style architecture and often feature covered carports and decorative front lawns. With longstanding residents, these homes are not often on the market, but when they are, home price values range from $600,000 to $800,000.
Enjoy the convenience of single-level living in Islandis’ charming ranch-style homes.

Many community events take place at the nearby Todos Santos Plaza in downtown Concord. "The plaza is the central area of downtown, and there is just a ton of things that go on here,” says Brian Burnett, a Concord resident and property manager for the Grant, a nearby apartment complex. This venue offers a weekly summer concert series with free live performances from local bands and musicians and other popular gatherings, like the city’s annual holiday tree lighting ceremony. The Spring Brews Festival takes place in March and brings in over 60 world-class craft breweries for beer tastings, live music and local food.
