Darn Good Deals in Danville
Behold, even amid the sacrosanct streets of Danville, one of Contra Costa’s most upscale cities, there lurks a home under $500,000. Okay, it’s $499,950, but still. With the market in the shape it’s in, a smart shopper might be able to bargain even this price down. While you’re in the neighborhood checking out this phenomenally low price, you might want to take advantage of the open houses for three other properties priced more typically in the million-dollar range. Who knows? In another three to six months, there might be even more homes priced for the average pocketbook in this area. Danville hosts the Eugene O’Neil National Historic Site, Danville Livery & Mercantile and an excellent farmer’s market currently featuring bok choy. (Photo: Pacific Coast Farmer’s Market.)
220 Garden Creek Place, Danville: 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths, 1,357 sq ft, $499,950. Not only is it affordable in Danville, it looks really sweet in the photos.
