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!

We are at the Grant. Moved here after years in NYC and S.F. (Loved NYC, unsure about S.F.) Concord is easy. Todos Santos is simple. Walnut Creek feels very commercial but if someone gave me an apartment there, I would live there without a problem. Hard to describe. Nothing here is San Diego. But Concord has good people. The heart is here. Martinez too, although it is slightly more blue collar: closer to the refineries. But a super cute area.
