Location
Get Directions
Nestled about 25 miles east of San Francisco, Lower Lakewood is a lively residential area attracting renters looking for a peaceful place to establish roots in the Bay Area. Renters have the choice of a plethora of apartments in a variety of styles. While most of Lower Lakewood is residential, the neighborhood is immediately east of the heart of Walnut Creek. This downtown district is known for its premier shopping and dining choices along Main Street. Broadway Plaza, an outdoor mall featuring 80 shops and a variety of restaurants, is the crown jewel of the upscale shopping district. Outside of the buzzing shops of Downtown Walnut Creek, Lower Lakewood residents enjoy visiting community parks like Civic Park, and adventure seekers enjoy hiking along the Briones to Mount Diablo Regional Trail that eventually leads into the Diablo Foothills Regional Park.
