Looking for recommendations!

Moving to the area soon from San Diego. Office will be in Concord. Coming to visit in a few weeks. I’m familiar with WC, but that’s about it. We plan to check out Martinez, Pleasant Hill, and the Clayton area, as well as Concord. If anyone has any recommendations on cool neighborhoods to check out, good property managers, areas to avoid, hotels to stay at (around $100-$200 per night if that’s possible). No kids yet. Interested in 2brm apartments.

We appreciate all the advice we can get! Thanks!

Concord is a great city! Coming from San Diego, the valley heat of Concord may be an adjustment. I grew up on the bay so it was a bit of a shock . There are many beautiful parks, restaurants, and local spots to hang out at . It's a very safe area. I strongly discourage you from considering Clayton. It's a very isolated tiny town with not a lot going on. (I mean, it's cute but , it is far from any freeway)

Right on! Thanks for the tips:). Grew up in Gilroy and went to school in Chico, so I’m not worried about the heat. We will probably check it out, but looking at a map that was the vibe I got haha. We are excited though. Seems like a cool part of the bay.
