Exploring the Jewel of the East Bay – Senior Living in Walnut Creek

If you or a loved one are considering a move to a senior living community or Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), many factors have an effect on which place is the right place—and one of the factors that many seniors overlook is location.

Today’s modern seniors don’t want to live in an isolated community with no connection to the surrounding area. They want to be in the middle of things, with happening neighborhoods and metropolitan areas nearby, so there’s never a shortage of things to do or places to explore. 

Located in the “Jewel of the East Bay,” the senior living community Viamonte at Walnut Creek offers the best that Northern California lifestyle has to offer. Just 30 minutes from Oakland and roughly an hour from San Francisco and San Jose, Viamonte puts residents close to three blossoming cities—among numerous other coastal areas and natural parks. Beyond all that, Viamonte’s residents get to call Walnut Creek home.

Because of its proximity and access to multiple forms of public transit, no senior living community compares with Viamonte at Walnut Creek. The CCRC is part of The Orchards at Walnut Creek, a dynamic mixed-use lifestyle center that features the finest architectural and landscaping designs. It also features a state-of-the-art grocery store, retail shops, and unique outdoor social spaces—so Viamonte and its residents will stay an integral part of all the exciting things going on in the area.
