No major roads run through Brooktree North, making the quiet cul-de-sacs a safe place to ride a bike or take a walk. Whether they have one or two stories, the 1960s-era ranch-style and midcentury modern homes retain a cohesive appearance with shutters, shingle roofs and one or two-car garages. Many homes here have pools, but even those that don't most likely have a backyard big enough to install one.

Programs include summer camps, after-school sports and 3D printing classes. Hiking trails are a draw for the city as well. “They all are popular. And the city has more than 2,000 acres of open space,” Burkhart says. Less than 3 miles from Brooktree North, hiking and biking paths crisscross through the gently sloping terrain of Walnut Creek Open Space.
