The secret is out (but please don’t tell anyone else)!!! Driving from Lafayette into downtown Walnut Creek, you can easily miss what people call the Saranap neighborhood. This quaint, little unincorporated neighborhood bordered by Lafayette to the north/west and Walnut Creek towards the south/east has been named the No. 2 “Hot Hood” to move to in the Bay Area by Diablo Magazine.
Saranap has just a little over 5,200 residents and is filled with a diverse and eclectic group of homes, from the '50s rancher with wood beam ceilings to the two-story modern charmer. There is even a home with its very own grape vineyard!
So what’s all the buzz about this tiny little residential area of Walnut Creek?
Saranap comes as a surprise to many. This diverse little 'hood, within walking distance to trails and downtown Walnut Creek, is a happy blend of longtime residents who remember the days of walnut orchards and young families with kids running from house to house.
Saranap was named after Sarah Naphtaly, who owned the majority of the land in the area during the early 1900’s. At that time, Saranap was a destination for those coming from San Francisco by train to escape the fog and go to the Walnut Festivals and summer homes. Today, Saranap is home to those wanting more land, warmer weather and laid back eclectic charm, all while having easy access to Lafayette, downtown Walnut Creek and Highways 24 and 680.
