Shamrock Corners
Neighborhood in Concord, California

Diverse housing options include post-war homes
Concord saw a post-World War II population boom. Much of the housing was built in the 1950s, with some condominium complexes going up in the 1970s. “Because it’s a larger, more spread-out area compared to its neighbor Pleasant Hill, there's a lot more diversity with the types of housing here, like multi-unit housing and condos,” Cherne says. The streets are wide and lined with sidewalks. Single-family homes are clustered near Cambridge Park and are typically ranch-style with two-car garages and modest, grassy lawns. A few have second stories. Single-family homes run from $650,000 for homes under 1500 square feet to $850,000 for homes up to 2,300 square feet. Condominiums tend to be one-bedroom units priced from $240,000 to $250,000.Community parks close to home with larger recreation areas nearby
Cambridge Park offers 10 acres of green space in Shamrock Corners, including walking trails and playgrounds. A half mile away, Meadow Homes Park has picnic tables set amongst twisted-trunk live oaks and an ocean-themed splash pad. Heather Farm Park in nearby Walnut Creek is also a big draw, with a 50-meter pool that is open year-round and a baby pool open in spring, summer and fall. The expansive park also includes sports fields, playgrounds, nature ponds and an equestrian center. For serious hikers, Lime Ridge Open Space, named for limestone quarries, is about 3 miles east and offers 25 miles of trails among grasslands with views of Ygnacio Valley below.Mt.

Shamrock Corners is on the southwest corner of Concord, right off Interstate 680, a regional corridor, so major employers in Bay Area cities are within reach.

Buses stop on Meadow Lane and Monument Boulevard, providing access to downtown and throughout Concord. Oakland is 20 miles away, and the Oakland Airport is another 10 miles beyond. San Francisco is 30 miles away. “Shamrock Corners is an easier commute than neighborhoods that are further within Concord because Monument Boulevard can get backed up the further in you go,” says Tina Kaur-Campbell, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has sold homes in the area for a decade.Shopping and dining within Shamrock Corners and nearby commercial areas
