Contra Costa Centre

Among the communities of California, Contra Costa Centre stands out for its transit-oriented district built around the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART station. Despite its name, it is an unincorporated census-designated place in central Contra Costa County, immediately north of Walnut Creek. BART links this part of the East Bay with Oakland and San Francisco, while nearby streets bring together apartments, offices, shops and established suburban neighbourhoods. Mount Diablo rises to the east, a defining landmark across much of the county. The Spanish name Contra Costa, meaning “opposite coast,” recalls the county’s position across San Francisco Bay from the city.
