You're looking for a 3-bedroom home in Pleasant Hill or Walnut Creek, and you've already run into the problem: the houses are old, the price tags are not. Most of what's on the market was built in the 1950s and '60s, which means a new roof, an aging foundation, original plumbing, or a kitchen overdue for a remodel often comes with the keys. And for that privilege, you're paying well over a million dollars. There's a smarter way to get into Walnut Creek and it's bigger, newer, and far less work. 1707 Geary Rd is your alternative to the old, overpriced single-family home. Built in 1984 and offering 2,347 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom townhome gives you significantly more living space than the average 3-bedroom house in Pleasant Hill (1,583 sq ft) and it does it for $924,000. Compare that to 2026 sales of similarly sized 2,000–2,500 sq ft homes: $1,277,626 in Pleasant Hill and $1,630,030 in Walnut Creek. That's over $350,000 in savings versus Pleasant Hill, and over $700,000 versus Walnut Creek — without sacrificing space, style, or location. Here's what ownership actually looks like here: More room to live. At 2,347 sq ft, you get more bedroom, living, and entertaining space than most single-family homes in the area including an oversized kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, a large island, and abundant cabinetry built for cooking and hosting. Nothing to fix, nothing to maintain. Skip the weekend yard work and the surprise repair bills. The lawn, the pool, the tennis court, and the roads are all professionally maintained as part of ownership, something no single-family home in Pleasant Hill or Walnut Creek can offer. A private retreat. The spacious primary suite includes a large bathroom with dual sinks, generous counter space, and a built-in desk for working from home, plus a private deck for your morning coffee or evening unwind. Resort amenities, every day. A sparkling pool and tennis court are steps from your door. A walkable, connected location. You're walking distance to BART and downtown Walnut Creek's exclusive shopping and acclaimed restaurants, with easy freeway access, yet tucked into a quiet, peaceful setting away from the noise. Imagine trading your weekends of mowing, painting, and patching for time at the pool, a walk to dinner downtown, or a quick BART ride into the city all while putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in your pocket.
