Bay Point California is a suburb in the Bay Area that offers scenic views of the bay, quiet neighborhoods and nearby hiking trails. It is within minutes of BART and offers a reasonable commute to Walnut Creek, Oakland and San Francisco. It is just down the freeway from Briones Park.

Almost everyone seemed to know each other around the school Shore Acres. It is a small town but has larger town near by. Not many grocery stores other than Safeway.

My neighborhood is not the safest, there is a park nearby and it is in terrible condition and the trails are not the safest as well. What makes my neighborhood good for me is the memories and the friends I have made. I would like for the area to be safer and be able to go on a walk without fearing what could happen.
