Diablo is a country club community in the Diablo Range foothills

Perched at the base of Mount Diablo, surrounded by rolling hills and lush nature, is the upscale Diablo neighborhood. Within commuting distance to San Francisco, boasting top-rated schools and gorgeous estates, Diablo offers its population of roughly 1,000 people a quiet blend of rural and suburban living. “Diablo tends to have an older crowd,” says Holly Sibley, a realtor with Dudum Real Estate Group who has been selling real estate in the area for over 13 years. “The country club is really central to this area for socializing and golfing.”

Outdoor recreation from Diablo Country Club to Mount Diablo State Park

Outdoor activities are abundant in Diablo. At the heart of the community is the private, member-owned golf and country club, Diablo Country Club, which was founded in 1912 and is both a destination for out-of-towners and a hub for the Diablo community. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors at the nearby 20,000-acre Mount Diablo State Park, which has dozens of trails for all levels of hikers to explore and offers stunning views of the sunset over the valley. Head to Oak Hill Park on Stone Valley Road for a nearby playground. This scenic lakeside park features a playground, trails for hiking and horseback riding and plenty of open space for throwing a frisbee or enjoying a picnic. During the summer, locals gather for their annual concert series.

New Victorian homes, ranch-style homes and Tudor homes in Diablo

This predominantly residential neighborhood has high curb appeal. Diablo’s wide, curving streets are lined with mature trees and large properties with an array of architectural styles, including New Victorian-style homes, ranch homes and English Tudor-style homes that sit on lots ranging from a half-acre to an acre. These lots often boast large driveways and shallow, manicured front lawns adorned with succulents. In Diablo, a four-bedroom ranch home on a half-acre lot costs around $2 million, and a five-bedroom cottage on an acre costs around $4.5 million. “This area has a slower market than some of the surrounding areas,” Sibley says. “Of course, it all depends on the state of the property more than anything.”
