A hidden gem
Bordered by Lafayette to the west and downtown Walnut Creek to the southeast, Saranap is a nearly undetectable neighborhood. At the turn of the twentieth century, it used to have a convenient feature: an inter-urban commuter rail system that linked Oakland to Sacramento. The neighborhood was named after the railroad developer’s mother, Sara Naphtaly. Today, the neighborhood has become something of a hidden gem with its scenic parks, charming local businesses and immaculate homes. "It’s a charming area that feels country-like in some spots. It’s close to the Lafayette and Iron Horse Trails and some parts are very close and walkable to downtown Walnut Creek, which has excellent shopping with high-end stores and restaurants,” says Soraya Golesorkhi, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker.
