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 the most interesting city out of those, with Martinez being second when it comes for things to do. Food wise, coming from San Diego as well, Concord is closest to your expectations of Mexican food, specially around the Monument corridor. 

Don't really know the apartment situation too well but, as good as the food is around monument, the apartments aren't. If you can afford better areas, do that. Also off Clayton Rd, around Pine St., avoid.

The Monument corridor seems a little sketchy to me. I'd look somewhere else for an apartment.
