Inner Lime Ridge

I just came across this neighborhood the other day. It was quite a discovery for me—I think Inner Lime Ridge may be the best neighborhood in Concord.

Lime Ridge and the Canal Trail form the western border of this neighborhood. This is a really nice place to go for a morning jog or for a weekend bike ride.

The populated part of the neighborhood stretches out to north and east of the ridge to Cowell Road. There are really nice homes along woody, or at least bushy straight lanes. You get a fair number of redwoods here. You are still in Concord, as is reflected by home prices whose median is only $350 K here. (They would be close to a million in a similar neighborhood in the Peninsula.) Prices range from lows of $200 K to a handful that break the $500 K mark—it is rare for a home here to sell for more than $600 K.

This is still probably the best residential neighborhood in Concord, if you are strictly speaking in terms of home quality and neighborhood aesthetics. No other neighborhood that I know of in Concord comes even close.
