Classically suburban Brentwood community with access to urban East Bay conveniences
Sand Creek is a classic master-planned community in northwest Brookland, an East Contra Costa County city located about 50 miles from San Francisco. Residents are often drawn here for its more small-town, community-focused atmosphere than more bustling Bay Area districts. While slightly more far removed from main highway and public transportation conveniences, the neighborhood still has plenty of East Bay urban necessities within reach. Home to many trendy lifestyle and shopping centers, Sand Creek also provides a well-maintained, contemporary-style housing landscape not far from Historic Downtown Brentwood. "What’s great about that area, and Brentwood in general, is that when people downsize, they want to stay in Brentwood," says Margie Morris, a Realtor with Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno who has lived in the Bay Area for over 25 years. "There's a strong sense of community, and everyone looks out for each other. It’s slower paced than a lot of other areas. Yet it’s still the Bay Area, so you get that multi-cultural aspect.”

Near State Route 4 and Tri-Delta Transit bus stops
State Route 4 sits along the neighborhood's west side, which connects to Interstates 580 and 680 and eventually San Francisco, about 50 miles west. According to Morris, rush hour can make commuting to San Francisco or Silicon Valley challenging. “But if you work off hours, say 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., then you’d probably be okay. Or if you’re hybrid — the commute probably wouldn’t be too terrible,” Morris says. While public transportation is limited throughout the area, Tri-Delta Transit buses run along Sand Creek Road and Fairview Avenue. The Antioch BART Station, 7 miles away, is the closest option for light rail travel, while the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport is about 53 miles south.
Route 4 is located along Sand Creek Brentwood WestSide.
Sand Creek is just minutes away from a BART station, making it easy to travel.
