Meadow Ln, Meadow Home

Meadow Lane is what Oak Grove Road turns into north of Monument Blvd. Meadow Lane is made up of a mix of apartment buildings and older Ranch style homes. The apartments are mostly of the shoebox variety though there are also some in the 1980’s bungalow style. Because these are so close to Monument Blvd. Rents here are fairly low and it is possible to find a one-bedroom for $950/month.

You will also find a small trailer park here as well.

The farther you get from Monument Blvd., the more Ranch Style homes you find on Meadow Lane. These homes sell for between $200k to $300k.

Unfortunately you still do get the usual problems with this section of Concord--namely bad schools and a touch of crime. I believe the crime worry is probably overrated but the schools do have low test scores, which suggests that there may be a lot of time spent on discipline and other sorts of issues that impede learning.

On the other hand, the low cost of housing and the location do have its advantages. It is definitely easier to commute from here than from Pittsburg or Antioch.

Overall, a bit of a mixed bag as far as a place to live.
