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.

Nearby community parks and next downtown’s central green plaza
Ellis Lake Park borders the neighborhood to the west on Ellis Street. This 10-acre public recreational site features a large man-made lake surrounded by a paved walking and running path, plus play areas. The park also includes the historic Keller House, whose previous occupants were integral to the city's development during the 20th century. Meadow Homes Park is a mile south, with vast open green spaces, athletic fields, and playscapes. Its small spray water park section is a popular feature during the warmer months. Downtown’s Todo Santos Plaza is just north of Islandis, a prominent city-style central green space surrounded by shops and restaurants. It features a playground and resting areas and is where many city events occur. Lime Ridge Open Space is about four miles south for more extensive outdoor recreation. It provides numerous hiking and biking trails along its vast, hilly open valleys where native wildlife sightings are common.

Concerts in the park and annual downtown festivals
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.

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.

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.
