Danville Real Estate Costs

Danville homes are as varied as Condominiums and Castles. Entry level homes start around $400,000 while there is still lots of choice in the over $1 million price range.

Danville is a well-established family oriented community situated in East Contra Costa County towards the South end of the San Ramon Valley. Residents typically commute to San Francisco and San Jose (and beyond) as well as to many other cities in the East Bay such as Walnut Creek and Concord. The San Ramon Valley runs North-South from Martinez to San Ramon along highway 680 and the largest community here is Walnut Creek, which is situated by the junction with Highway 24, approximately mid-way down the valley. To put Danville real estate prices into perspective, homes here cost rather less than Diablo and Alamo, higher than those in Walnut Creek and certainly higher than the communities at the North and South ends of the valley.

Danville Real Estate History

The older part of Danville is on the West side, close to the picturesque downtown. Here can be found some of the most expensive single family homes in the area, many of them having been improved and remodeled to an exceptionally high standard. This area is highly sought after.

Moving to the East along Sycamore Valley Road, the homes were built more recently. The further East, the more recent the home construction.

The 1980s and 1990s saw a boom in Danville real estate with numerous developments, large and small being constructed, particularly out along Camino Tassajara. Blackhawk Country Club is a prime example where even though homes are available below $800,000, sale prices of $2-3 million or more are typical.

Real estate prices here are driven by a number of factors. Primarily though, the popularity of the area with families is explained by the high standard of schools at all levels. This really is a desirable place to live with low crime and a high level of social awareness. Overall, a great place to raise your family.
