Walnut Creek is an upbeat, walkable East Bay city with a lively downtown of restaurants, craft breweries, theaters, boutique shops, regular farmers markets and quick access to parks and Mount Diablo trails—perfect for travel therapists who want things to do after shifts and a comfortable, safe place to stay for multi-week assignments.
Well-connected by BART and highways to San Francisco (~25 miles) and Oakland (~20 miles), and within easy reach of Napa wine country for weekend escapes, it offers city variety without the daily grind of big-city living.
