Antioch

A centrally-located Contra Costa County city located on the California Delta waterway.

Welcome to Antioch 

Centrally-located community with Delta waterway scenery.


​​​​​​​Antioch is a centrally-located Contra Costa County city located on the California Delta waterway. Antioch is one of California’s oldest communities, growing from a ranch established on the San Joaquin River in 1848. Like many nearby East Bay communities, this family-friendly city has experienced rapid development over the past two decades. The influx of new families and homes has led to similar growth for local businesses and services. State Route 4 runs through Antioch and a BART station connects the city to Downtown San Francisco. Commuters can typically reach San Francisco in around 50 minutes, while Oakland is less than 40 minutes’ drive away.


Antioch real estate includes a mix of contemporary condominiums and attractive single-family homes. Despite Antioch’s growing popularity, it remains one of the most affordable locations in the East Bay area.

Things to Do

Antioch’s Hometown Fourth of July festivities feature a morning parade followed by afternoon activities, such as live music, food and craft vendors, a car show, and a kid’s zone. The celebration culminates with a huge fireworks display at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds. Since the 1940s, Contra Costa County Fair has been an annual highlight at the Fairgrounds. Attracting thousands of spectators over two days each May, the Fair features a carnival, livestock exhibits, Antioch Speedway events, and live music performances. Other events include February’s Delta Blues Festival at El Campanil Theatre and a Summer Concert Series at downtown Waldie Plaza. Antioch Water Park is another summer highlight, with five pools, water slides, and a splash pad. Running alongside James Donlon Boulevard to Antioch’s south, a huge area of green space and connected parks surrounds the Contra Loma and Antioch Municipal Reservoirs. This area features the Worth Shaw Community Park and Sports Complex, with trails, athletic fields, a children’s playground, picnic areas, and BBQ pits. The rolling greens of the adjacent Lone Tree Golf Course offer spectacular views of the Delta region and Mount Diablo.
