Walkable residential suburb

Sun Terrace is a small residential area with easy access to highways and close-to-home amenities. Kids can walk to school, families can walk to the park and commuters can easily get to Downtown San Francisco. Once known for its affordability, there has been a recent jump in housing prices in the neighborhood. “It used to be less pricey, but there was an influx of new residents from the South Bay and south of San Francisco during the COVID-19 pandemic that drove housing costs up,” says Realtor Amber Hom of Realm Real Estate. “I think people realized this was one of the last affordable, centrally located areas in the Bay Area.”

Mid-century ranch-style homes

Housing stock includes an abundance of ranch-style options built in the 1960s with large lots, attached garages and plenty of mid-century charm. Some have been renovated and updated with vaulted ceilings, open floor plans and large windows to let in lots of natural light. The homes tend to be uniform in size and style here, and prices typically range between $600,000 and $800,000. The average number of days on the market for Sun Terrace is half the national average and there are about 1,150 total homes in the neighborhood. The average home value is slightly lower than the average for Concord but significantly higher than the national average.

It’s really, really commutable,” Hom says. Residents are also within easy reach of Highway 242 which connects to Interstate 680.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
