The Shepherd Canyon Real Estate Market
Like most of the homes in and around popular Montclair Village, Shepherd Canyon homes tend to be located among tall oak. pine, redwood and eucalyptus trees. There is a stress on drawing the outside beauty into the home. Many of the homes are made of wood, with wood beam ceilings, large wrap around decks, tall floor to ceiling windows, and many levels for additional space.
Located above Montclair Village, a resident can meet just about any shopping need just a short distance away. While there are the ever practical Safeway and Lucky stores, other gourmet foods like cheeses, wines, chocolates and specialty coffee shops are available, as are many fitness and beauty sites. The neaby Highways 13 and 580 allow quick access north to Oakland, San Francisco and Berkeley, or east to Contra Costa County.
