Customization

One of the biggest perks of building your own new home in Antioch is the customization that’s possible with the location, labor, and price-point of San Francisco’s East Bay. You’ll have the freedom to choose from a plethora of talented contractors and have less red tape to deal with in terms of permitting when building your dream home.

 

Antioch’s location provides you with your choice of views, waterfront, or city living to build your structure and lifestyle around. Wherever you choose to locate your new home, you’ll be able to decide everything from the layout, to the number of rooms, to the stylized materials and color schemes of the home—along with so much more. From the grand design to the tiniest details, a custom home should cater to you and your family’s personal needs and be unencumbered by the expectations of neighbors or prior owners.

 

Building a new home in Antioch provides access to the best talent, technology, and environment California has to offer and allows you to take advantage of designs that may have been overlooked or inaccessible to older homes on the market.

Environment

The environment of Antioch and adjacent communities in the East Bay make it an ideal place to invest in building a new home. The climate is reputably good year-round, with warm summers and mild winters, and Antioch is adjacent to a wide variety of parks and a beautiful trail system.

 

Antioch Unified School District has renowned academics, with multiple elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, and Antioch’s two libraries (the Contra Costa County Library and the Prewett Library) provide an opportunity to learn more about your new community.

 

Despite being a continually growing city, there’s still plenty of green space, water frontage, and views to accent your new home. And when you’re not making your own fun in the environment around Antioch, there’s a constant flow of community events taking place in or near the city all year long.

 

Community

Before, during, and after your custom build, you should take time to experience the social and cultural events taking place near Antioch. The high density of parks and diverse social background of the East Bay can provide plenty of entertainment and educational experiences for you and your family.

 

The high density of parks in Antioch promotes a flare for communal outdoor activities and neighborhood gatherings that are absent in many of California’s large cities. The Prewett Family Water Park, the Contra Loma Regional Park, the Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, and the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail all offer valuable community space for Antioch residents and their homes.

 

A total of 31 formal parks are located in and around the city, and the City of Antioch helps host fun events throughout the year, including a County Fair. The Contra Costa County Fair is a popular option for live music performances, food vendors, rollercoasters, and much more. If you’re interested in the arts, be sure to check out Antioch’s historic El Campanil Theatre, where you can see classic films, and enjoy community-led performances, and live music. The city’s shopping district provides access to art and amenities that will make your newly built house feel like a true Californian home.
