Close to nature and shopping

Midtown Concord is one of Concord’s quiet suburban neighborhoods. Located about four miles from downtown Concord and five miles from the entrance to Mt. Diablo State Park, the neighborhood appeals to people looking for a community with access to nature and shopping. Walking, hiking and biking paths weave throughout the parks and subdivisions, and nearby Mt. Diablo offers trails for serious hiking. Midtown Concord’s proximity to downtown Concord, and most notably Todos Santos Plaza, also means that shopping, dining and entertainment are as close as mountainous trails.

Hiking Mount Diablo, hanging at Newhall Community Park

Places to hike, walk and bike are plentiful in Midtown Concord, especially thanks to its location near Mt. Diablo. Newhall Community Park is the neighborhood's premiere outdoor space, which has 120 acres of trails, multipurpose fields and ponds. The center of the park also has a Vietnam War memorial in the center of a small ring of trees. For hiking at a high elevation, people drive five miles to Mt. Diablo State Park and trek up and down the mountain, which has an ominous reputation to some. “They used to call it ‘the thicket of the devil,” says Bonnie Spindler, a Realtor with the Corcoran Group who’s been selling Bay Area real estate for 30 years.
