Homes in Concord, CA
Concord provides diverse housing options from mid-century homes to new construction, with excellent BART connectivity, family-friendly amenities, and strong community spirit throughout the city.
Why Concord?
BART Convenience
Two BART stations, casual carpool lots, and County Connection express buses give Concord rare transit flexibility for an inland city. Residents can reach Oakland, Walnut Creek, or San Francisco without relying on I-680 every day.
Attainable Pricing
Concord delivers larger floor plans and ADU-ready lots for less than Lamorinda or Walnut Creek. Buyers stretch budgets further while still landing near charter schools, Diablo Valley College, and regional employers.
Outdoor Access
Lime Ridge, Mount Diablo trailheads, and Delta waterways sit minutes away, so hikers, cyclists, and boaters can plan adventures before or after work. Neighborhood parks with dog runs and splash pads fill any remaining gaps.

Lifestyle & Amenities
Discover what makes Concord a special place to live.
Concord blends classic suburbia with urban convenience, so it is common to see residents grabbing third-wave coffee before walking to co-working lofts around Todos Santos Plaza. Evening strolls weave past murals, taprooms, and the square’s glowing string lights, giving the downtown a year-round festival feel.
Families build their schedules around extensive youth sports leagues, cultural classes, and library programs. Parents brag about being able to reach charter schools, magnet campuses, and DVC enrichment programs within ten minutes, while splash pads and playgrounds fill with toddlers every afternoon.
Outdoor culture runs deep thanks to the Delta de Anza Trail, Lime Ridge Open Space, and quick gateways to Mount Diablo. Cyclists log sunrise miles toward Clayton, hikers discover oak-studded ridges, and anglers appreciate having both the Carquinez Strait and Inland lakes within easy reach.
