Most of Iron Triangle’s housing inventory is made up of compact single-story bungalows built in the first quarter of the 20th century. These homes come with floor plans that are often anywhere from about 600 square feet to just over 1,000 square feet. Price tags here often range from the $400,000s to the $600,000s, and homes typically sell after an average of about 36 days on the market. “I think it’s just more so the access to freeways,” says local Realtor Bobby King of Select Real Estate Group, on Iron Triangle’s appeal. “The closeness and proximity, whether you work in Oakland or San Francisco. You’re only 20 minutes or 30 minutes from any of those locations.”
