East Contra Costa

The fast-growing communities in eastern Contra Costa County along the CA-4 corridor, from Pittsburg and Antioch through Oakley and Brentwood. This area has experienced explosive residential growth over the past two decades, drawing families seeking affordable homeownership within commuting distance of Bay Area job centers. eBART (the diesel extension of BART) serves Pittsburg/Bay Point and Antioch stations, providing a rail link to the core BART system. Brentwood and Oakley, in the Delta region, offer the Bay Area's most accessible home prices among incorporated cities. The tradeoff is longer commutes -- 60-90 minutes to San Francisco or Silicon Valley.
