The Last Hidden Gem of the Bay Area for Housing

Just what is a hidden gem when it comes to housing in the Bay Area? Well let’s take a look:

First, it should start off with prices that are actually affordable.

Then, it should have home styles that are inspiring and diverse.

If it has a bunch of outdoor activities, that would be a huge bonus.

Places to grab a drink with friends would be fantastic to have.

An active downtown with farmers markets and events would be icing on the cake.

Throw in some cute and creative stores, and this place sounds too good to be true.

This place isn’t too good to be true, it’s actually Martinez. A small town located in the East Bay, just a quick BART or drive into SF that most people only pass through on their way to Tahoe or Sacramento.

The next time you’re passing through though, stop and take a look, because Martinez is on the rise and is currently experiencing a bit of a renaissance of youth, creativity, and revitalization that has big things on the horizon for this small town.

Not only is this city on the rise, it’s providing the things that everyone feels like they’re missing out on when it comes to buying a home.
