This little corner of Concord

Along the Monument Boulevard corridor in south Concord, Princess Park is a niche spot studded with little perks. Its shaded sidewalks and marked lanes make the neighborhood easy to navigate on foot or by bike.

Concord's eclectic and diverse food scene

Most people travel outside of the neighborhood for shopping and dining. Gangnam Café incorporates traditional American fare alongside Korean cuisine, serving eggs Benedict and burgers alongside bibimbap and short rib burritos. Chopan Kabab offers Afghan, Persian and Iranian dishes with vegetarian options as well. "There's a Taco Trail where people try to go to as many taquerias as they can in a month," says Beth Javens, Executive Director of the Visit Concord Bureau. "There's also Park 'N' Shop, which is a plaza with every kind of cuisine you could want." Costco Wholesale, Grocery Outlet, Concord Produce & Seafood, Harvest House, 99 Ranch Market and Las Montañas Market cater to diverse grocery needs. Plus, Willows Shopping Center, just west of the neighborhood, is full of popular stores such as REI, Old Navy, and Barnes and Noble. It also has the Veranda Luxe Cinema and Imax and Red Door Escape Room.

Concord's artistic community

The Toyota Pavilion Concord has a special place in the hearts of many Concord residents. Designed by famed architect Frank Gehry in 1975, it seats 12,000 and is very popular for concerts. "People have grown up with the pavilion. It holds a lot of memories for people because they’ve seen it grow," Javens says. The city also puts on events like Creative Concord, a showcase of local artistic expression through visual arts and performances. "Overall, I find it to be a very welcoming community. You can see that in the interaction we have with people at events. There's a really good spirit about Concord."

Police cruiser noise, periodic engine noise and environmental risk

The Concord Police Department is based just outside of Princess Park, so cruisers may be heard periodically throughout the day. Concord itself is right by Buchanan Field Airport, which largely sees private jet activity but can vary in noise levels. First Street data notes that properties in the Four Corners– Ygnacio Valley area (right where Princess Park is based) have wildfire risk and extreme risk for poor air quality.
