Neighborhoods
Blackhawk California occupies an area of over 9 square miles, situated in an unincorporated area of Contra Costa County in the San Francisco East Bay.
Situated to the east of Danville along Camino Tassajara, this upscale San Ramon Valley community comprises approximately 11,000 people, and it has attracted business executives, entrepreneurs, professional athletes and media personalities as residents as well as a wide range of business professionals.
To most people, the name is synonymous with Blackhawk Country Club. In reality though, Blackhawk Country Club is just one of seven gated communities scattered along Blackhawk Road, all connected by a 3-mile long jogging trail.
Driving along either of the two main thoroughfares in Blackhawk Country Club, Blackhawk Drive and Blackhawk Club Drive will take you past a vast range of different architectural styles. There is a real feeling of quality here. You will see an English Tudor sitting alongside a Cape Cod home or a Greek Revival style. It sounds unusual but somehow it all works.
