About Walnut Creek, California Walnut Creek encompasses 500 acres of the Contra Costa County. Walnut Creek was the eighth city in Contra Costa County. Centrally located in the county, Walnut Creek acts as the central hub of activity and traffic. Highways 680 and 24, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit stations service the city and make it one of Contra Costa Counties most urbanized cities. Walnut Creek manages to preserve the old town feel even after its urbanization. Walnut Creek's downtown area is filled with shops, markets, and restaurants of excellent quality. The town features many of the amenities of San Francisco, but without the feel of the large city. The residential surroundings reflect the old town rural atmosphere.

Buying Land and New Construction >Buying Property to Build
The ideal piece of land cannot be purchased without due diligence. Say you notice a lot for sale in a suburban area that looks like a perfect place to build your dream home. Buying undeveloped land can provide an opportunity to build a house that will meet your needs, but you will need certain information before you sign on the dotted line.
Most suburban areas have zoning regulations which govern the type of structure that can be erected, the dimensions, and even the material used on the exterior. Historic preservation groups work with builders in many areas to ensure that any new construction fits in with the existing buildings. If you want to build out of the city limits, check the availability of public utility services and the cost of bringing those services to the site. Local planning and zoning boards can provide you with information about proposed development that could change your quiet country lane into a busy street.
It is a good idea to consult an architect and a zoning expert to confirm that your vision will work on the property you have selected.
