Concord’s city center and downtown district

Downtown/Todos Santos is the vibrant city center of Concord, the largest city in East Bay’s Contra Costa County. “Todos Santos is Concord’s business hub,” says Wendy Moore, a longtime area Realtor at Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno as well as a member of the Chamber of Commerce. “Several large corporations bring their headquarters here.” However, the main attraction of this district is its lively central plaza, which gives the neighborhood part of its namesake. “Todos Santos Plaza is considered the focal point of downtown, and you have all these restaurants and bars surrounding it,” says Brian Burnett, a local resident and leasing manager for the Grant, an apartment complex in Downtown/Todos Santos. “It has a weekly farmers market, music in the park and other popular events like taco fest, beer garden fest and different holiday parades. There’s just a ton of stuff that goes on here.”
