The Northgate Area-  Comprised of many neighborhoods with a lot of homes. Located in East Walnut Creek, most of the homes were built in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's and have long been popular for their traditional style single and two story floorplans. 

New Northgate- Some of the newer constructed Walnut Creek homes are located in the Northgate Area. Subdivisions like Rancho Paraiso were built throughout the 90's by Herald Smith Construction. 

The Woodlands- Once nothing but farmland and walnut groves. This all changed in 1961 and 1962 when several developers, including Leadership, MacKay and Hofman, were the first to break ground and build the Woodlands.

Lake Lakewood Area- It's always a surprise to anyone who doesn't know, that there's a lake in Walnut Creek. Lake Lakewood was man made and has a lot of history. Most of the home development in Lakewood began in the 1930's when it was expected that the opening of the Caldecott Tunnel would increase demand for homes in Walnut Creek.

Dark Clouds Ahead?

DateTuesday, July 6, 2010 at 2:59PM

Are we going to double dip into another recession? If you have been watching the news it does seem a bit gloomy. The unemployment rate is still rising, it's what we keep hearing, that rising number. Plus, the never ending frustration of the Gulf oil spill disaster is just non stop. The ongoing failure of this has been the main coverage for the media, it makes me cringe. Plus the stock market plummets, Afghanistan, this is just destroying our consumer confidence.

Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan feels the U.S. economy is undergoing what he calls "a typical pause" that is being triggered by the European national debt issues and their impact on economic global recovery. Meanwhile, in real estate home sales, pending and closed home sales are off by 30 Percent. Really, this is just because of the federal tax credit program coming to an end. This was predicted by many housing analysts and it's no huge surprise in my book.

Not all numbers are bad, home prices nationwide are 4 percent compared to last year! Higher in metropolitan areas like Los Angles and Boston. Numbers, numbers, numbers... You can't argue with them.
