William Way, Meadow Home

William Way is a horseshoe shaped street in Concord. It is fairly typical of Concord really, in that it is made up of Ranch Style homes from the late 50’s. The typical home here sells for about $250K to $300K and I recently saw a home put up for rent for $2000/month, which although not exactly low for this area is a pretty great steal for a 4-bedroom, which this home was.

William Way is one of those streets that looks like it used to have sidewalks but no longer does. The asphalt has been pulled up and left dirt where the sidewalks are. The lawns sometimes have white picket fences but more often than not are just slightly unkept with brown patches or overgrown edges. It is not awful, just a sign that the occupants simply do not have the time or motivation to work on their homes.

Cars along William Way are generally older model and doors tend to have iron gated doors--a sign perhaps of the crime worry in the area.

The schools here are about average: Ygnacio Valley High has an API of 5 and Cambridge Elementary has a 4--which is not too bad for Concord.

With such low rents and property prices, however, this definitely has to be a consideration for anyone going through dire straits.
