"Kind of Like Grandma--Old but Nice"
Came to see a house here on Sodaro Drive in the Vine Hill section of Martinez. This is the section of Martinez that feels more like Pacheco than Martinez. What I mean is that the street has sort of a rural feel. If the roads weren’t paved, it would feel like you were in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Most of the homes here are very old and they have late model cars parked out front, suggesting the residents are on the older side as well. But the homes are mostly very well kept. It is not unusual to see white picket fences out front and well trimmed shrubbery.
I don’t know if this is typical, but we came to see a 4-bedroom here that was going for $1850. That is pretty good for a 4-bedroom.
Overall the area is fairly safe and has solid schools. It is also relatively well situated for commuting into the rest of Contra Costa County (though I wouldn’t want to try to make it into SF from here).
This actually seems like a nice quiet spot to raise kids.
