Discover Walnut Creek’s Hidden Gem: Wayside Plaza Condos

Looking for a midrange condo in Walnut Creek that offers convenience, comfort, and value? Let’s talk about Wayside Plaza, a lesser-known but excellent option for commuters, investors, and lifestyle seekers.

Overview of Wayside Plaza

Wayside Plaza consists of two buildings: Centerre Place and The Madison, each with approximately 60 units. Built between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, these condos strike the perfect balance between functionality and charm. While the buildings are nearly identical, each offers unique features to consider.

Key Features of Wayside Plaza

  • Elevators: Say goodbye to lugging groceries upstairs!

  • Private Balconies: Enjoy outdoor space right at home.

  • Secure Parking: Both buildings feature common garages, so no street parking headaches.

  • In-Unit Laundry: Each unit includes a stacked washer and dryer for your convenience.

  • Spacious Living: Units are well-designed with a layout that maximizes space and natural light.

Prime Location

Situated right next to the Pleasant Hill BART station, Wayside Plaza is a commuter’s dream. You’re also steps away from the Iron Horse Trail for walking or biking and surrounded by trendy new restaurants popping up in the neighborhood.

Centerre Place vs. The Madison: What’s the Difference?

The key distinction between these two buildings lies in their rental policies:

  • Centerre Place: Rentals are allowed, making it an excellent choice for investors. Buy a unit, rent it out immediately, or keep it as a future rental property.

  • The Madison: Rentals are restricted to a waiting list system. If investing is part of your plan, this may require patience.

HOA Fees and Amenities

The HOA fees at Wayside Plaza are in the mid-$500s, a reasonable rate considering the amenities:

  • Pool and Greenbelt: Relax outdoors in a well-maintained environment.

  • Fitness Center: Stay active without leaving the complex.

  • Exterior Maintenance: HOA covers building upkeep, trash, and sewer services.

Who Should Consider Wayside Plaza?

  • Commuters: Proximity to BART and easy access to the Iron Horse Trail make this a top choice for those working in San Francisco or surrounding areas.

  • Investors: Centerre Place offers rental flexibility, ideal for generating passive income.

  • Lifestyle Seekers: Enjoy the blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility with nearby parks, trails, and dining options.

Is Wayside Plaza Right for You?

Whether you’re looking for a new home or a sound investment, Wayside Plaza checks many boxes. With its convenient location, modern amenities, and flexible options, it’s a standout choice in Walnut Creek’s condo market.
