Living in the lap of luxury
While many believe the community is named for the giant birds seen flying through its skies, the luxurious master-planned community of Blackhawk, California, is actually the namesake of a famed Irish racehorse, as the area was once used to house prize thoroughbreds. Originally a stretch of sprawling grassland set in the foothills of Mount Diablo, Blackhawk Ranch (as it was then known) was purchased by a developer in 1979 and transformed from grassland to a grandiose neighborhood laced in luxury boasting six gated communities, a prestigious country club, two golf courses and so much more.
Golf carts can be seen throughout the day at Blackhawk running residence around the area.
The most notable attractions at Blackhawk Plaza are the sculptures in the water fountain.

Extravagant estates for entertaining
Just east of the small town of Danville, Blackhawk is buried in the natural scenery of Contra Costa County. The homes are a mix of classic luxury estates and modest-sized homes of varying styles — including Mediterranean, Spanish-inspired, Craftsman, colonial and modern designs with Queen Anne-inspired elements — with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Many of them feature grand entryways with soaring ceilings and windows. More lavish homes have backyards more suited to entertain guests in pavilions with outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and in-ground swimming pools. As extravagant as these East Bay Hills estates are, they're typically more affordable than their big-city counterparts, with price tags ranging from just over $1 million to $6 million. However, massive megamansions can be found in the mix, reaching nearly $25 million. “It is the most spectacular, private gated community in the Bay Area,” says Tonya Tecca, Realtor with Compass. “Blackhawk has a great longstanding reputation of having notable residents, from professional athletes to music producers to recording artists. Celebrities have lived here since Blackhawk’s very beginning.” Tecca is also a resident of Blackhawk herself.

Stellar schools for success
Stellar education awaits the students residing in Blackhawk as part of the award-winning San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “People move here for the schools, the lifestyle and because it’s more affordable than Silicon Valley,” says Realtor Julie Long of Caldwell Banker Realty. “Recently, we’ve seen lots of young families moving here from San Jose and the Peninsula, and it’s really refreshed this community.” Students can attend Tassajara Hills Elementary School and Diablo Vista Middle School as they prepare for studies at Monte Vista High School. “People are absolutely moving here for the schools,” Long says. Tassajara Hills is listed as the No. 1 elementary school in Contra Costa County, while Diablo Vista and Monte Vista High School have both been recognized as California Gold Ribbon Schools and California Distinguished Schools. Monte Vista has also been recognized with a National Blue Ribbon Award. Tassajara Hills and Monte Vista both score an A-plus on Niche. Diablo Vista has an A.

Members-only club life
Filled with the greenest fairways and jaw-dropping amenities, the member-by-sponsor-only Blackhawk Country Club is the epitome of arrival in the area. Designated a Distinguished Club by BoardRoom Magazine, the club offers its members two lush golf courses, two separate tennis facilities comprised of 18 courts and six pickleball courts. Its 10-lane competition swimming pool and state-of-the-art fitness round out the amenities, all stretched across expansive open greenspace. Being in the foothills of Mount Diablo puts Blackhawk residents just a stone’s throw from some of the area’s premier hiking and trail destinations, including the Red Corral Trailhead in the massive Mount Diablo State Park.

Housed in Blackhawk Plaza, its six exhibits include the Classic Car Collection, Art of Africa, Pat’s Compacts, Into China, World of Nature and Spirit of the Old West. The museum’s Annual Jon Snyder Memorial Father’s Day Car Show draws a considerable crowd dressed in nostalgic ‘50s sock hop garb as classic cars from the era are admired. Every spring, the NorCal NSX and Viper Club Car Shows display those cars for club members only, and the Supercar Car Show kicks off the summer in the museum’s courtyard. The awe-inspiring architecture of the museum itself also catches the eyes of everyone who visits.
