Leafy urban neighborhood off a major Bay Area corridor

Pines, live oaks and palms shade the streets of Monument Corridor, a residential neighborhood in the center of Concord. Just off Interstate 680, the location is convenient for commuters who work in Oakland and other regional employment hubs. An abundance of restaurants and stores ring the neighborhood, and nearby parks and plazas draw people out to multicultural events. “You’re close to public transportation and major freeways, so this is a really easy access place,” says Tina Kaur-Campbell, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has sold homes in the area for a decade. “Of course, that means you’re in an urban area, and that means you have lots of places to get food, lots of good restaurants really close by.”

Diverse eateries and abundance of stores surround neighborhood

In the Park & Shop plaza just north of Monument Corridor, Vietnamese cuisine is cooked up at Saigon Bistro, and servers bring meats to the table at Brasas de Brazil. There’s also a Gratitude Coffee Bar, taquerias, a poke restaurant, and Japanese and Chinese options. Costco is just to the east of the neighborhood. Veranda LUXE Cinema & IMAX is two miles to the west at The Veranda shopping center. "The Veranda is a really nice shopping area,” says Kaur-Campbell. “There are lots of restaurants, and there’s the cinema. The Yard House is really nice and there are some smaller places. We go for boba and ice cream.” Target is another mile beyond The Veranda.

Walkable neighborhood parks, Iron Horse Trail runs alongside

Meadow Homes Park is just across the neighborhood border. It has a splash pad, sports fields and shelters for large picnics. The 10-acre Ellis Lake Park is within walking distance and features a paved trail around the lake, which is home to ducks and turtles. Community services are coordinated from the Keller House, which was built in 1902 and moved to the park. The 32-mile Iron Horse Trail touches the neighborhood on its southern tip, bringing bikers and hikers through the area. Lime Ridge Open Space is under 3 miles away and provides scenic hikes through chaparral with the likelihood of spotting wildlife.

Community comes together on historic plaza

Todos Santos Plaza, the historic town square a mile and a half north of Monument Corridor, provides space for frequent community gatherings. “It’s not unlikely to see your neighbors and coworkers and even the mayor out in town,” says Johana Segura, owner of 24/7 Nightingale Home Care and resident of Concord. “You’ll see a ton of families around the park at the plaza, and you’ll probably recognize them, too.” The Concord Farmers Market is held on Tuesdays. In October, Taste of Concord brings foodies of all ages to the plaza to sample from local restaurants. “Every September, there’s a Latino festival in Monument Corridor that has great food and entertainment. There are dancers, bands and local makers,” Segura says. “We are a tight community, and there’s a ton of networking opportunities between business owners. It’s just a lot of fun to all get together like that.”

Ranch-style and two-story homes

Mid-century ranch-style homes with garages and small, well-landscaped yards populate the neighborhood, with a newer section of two-story homes closely spaced in the north central area. Yards have simple landscaping, and sidewalks encourage foot travel. Prices range from $525,000 to $750,000 for older, smaller homes and $700,000 to $925,000 for larger, newer or updated homes. “Most of my clients are people who are just starting off, or on the other end, people who are downsizing,” says Kaur-Campbell. “People are starting to purchase and flip homes, but there are also people who have lived here a long time.”
