Welcome to Larkey
Tucked just north of downtown Walnut Creek, Larkey is one of those neighborhoods that feels pleasantly removed while still being close to just about everything. Tree-lined streets, established homes, nearby trails, parks, and everyday conveniences give the area an easygoing, residential feel — with downtown Walnut Creek, BART, shopping, dining, and commuter routes only minutes away.
At the heart of the neighborhood is Larkey Park, a 13-acre community park with expansive lawns, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, picnic areas, a swim center, and connections to nearby walking and biking trails. The park is also home to Lindsay Wildlife Experience and the Walnut Creek Model Railroad Society, making it a local destination as well as a neighborhood gathering spot.
Outdoor lovers have easy access to the Contra Costa Canal Trail and connections toward the Briones to Mount Diablo Regional Trail, creating opportunities for walking, running, and biking right from the neighborhood.
For everyday life, Larkey is conveniently located near grocery stores, coffee, casual dining, and shopping, while downtown Walnut Creek is just a short drive away for restaurants, boutiques, Broadway Plaza, entertainment, and more. Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill BART stations are also nearby, adding another layer of convenience for commuters. Lindsay Wildlife Experience, for example, is approximately 1.5 miles from Walnut Creek BART and one mile from Pleasant Hill BART.
It’s that combination — established neighborhood charm, access to the outdoors, and proximity to everything Walnut Creek has to offer — that makes Larkey such an appealing place to call home.
