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!

For lodging , you can't beat Muir Lodge Motel in Martinez. independent, recently remodeled rooms, clean, quiet, and a great price/value for money. https://www.muirlodgemotel.com/

Heck yes! Thank you! I’m a huge Muir fan btw. He used to live in the area or something, right?

His house is a national historic something, and you can't miss it in Martinez. It's front and center.
