The East Bay's Urban Heart

Walnut Creek is the undisputed cultural and commercial center of Contra Costa County — a city that buzzes with energy while retaining the warmth of a true community. Broadway Plaza, one of the Bay Area's premier outdoor shopping centers, anchors a vibrant downtown filled with acclaimed restaurants, national retailers, and local boutiques. The Lesher Center for the Arts brings theater, music, and dance to the heart of the city year-round.

Real estate in Walnut Creek spans an impressive range — from sleek urban condominiums and townhomes near downtown BART to sprawling single-family homes tucked into the hills above the city. Neighborhoods like Saranap, Larkey Park, and Northgate each offer distinct lifestyles within the same dynamic city. With three BART stations, Walnut Creek is also one of the most commuter-friendly East Bay cities, drawing professionals from across the Bay Area.

The Hertz Team's deep roots throughout the East Bay give buyers and sellers in Walnut Creek a decisive advantage — from off-market access to proven negotiating strength built over 80+ years.
