I’ve only lived here in Walnut Creek for a short time after moving from Texas and so far I’m impressed. The neighborhoods are very peaceful and the cost of living is surprisingly affordable for such a nice area of California. The job opportunities here are quite bountiful and the food is exquisite. I moved into a Sober Living Environment here after I graduated from an in-patient rehabilitation program and found employment the day after. I feel very safe walking the streets to work and back and have yet to meet an unfriendly person that lives here. I hope to settle down and make a life here!
Definitely modernized now after all the renovations! With new malls, stores, and appealing scenaries, it's ideal for retiring and young adults. I've been in the area since elementary school so it's definitely been a change!
Walnut Creek is a beautiful little town outside of Berkeley California! My only critique is it’s a little expensive, but so is everywhere else near Berkeley.
