Walnut Creek's Steady Stream of Moves
A desirable suburb with Bay Area costs.
Walnut Creek has a lot going for it: a walkable downtown, good schools, BART into San Francisco and Oakland, and Mt. Diablo in the backyard. It also has some of the highest housing costs and property taxes in the East Bay. Many families and retirees eventually trade it for a nearby suburb or for a state where their money goes much further.

Local Moves in Walnut Creek and the East Bay
A local move within Contra Costa or Alameda County usually takes 4 to 12 hours, depending on home size, stairs and traffic on I-680 and Highway 24. The trickier part is access. Hillside homes off Northgate and in the Rancho San Miguel area can have steep driveways, Rossmoor and other gated communities have entry procedures, and downtown condos near BART need elevator reservations and loading times.
