Contra Costa County, CA

Property management in Concord, CA

Last reviewed: July 2026

Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County with a population of approximately 130,000, and a diverse rental market spanning mid-century detached homes in established neighborhoods, condominiums near the BART corridors, and newer townhome developments. Two BART stations - Concord and North Concord/Martinez - make Concord one of the most BART-connected rental markets in the county, drawing a deep pool of commuter tenants priced out of Oakland and San Francisco.

Croskey brings East Contra Costa property management expertise to Concord landlords who want professional, local management without a national franchise. Our tenant screening standards, maintenance coordination, and monthly owner reporting apply consistently across every property we manage. Average rent for a 3-bedroom detached home in Concord typically ranges from $2,600 to $3,200 per month depending on neighborhood and condition.

Concord landlords must navigate both state and local rent law. Concord's Measure V rent stabilization ordinance (effective 2023) applies to most rental units built before February 1, 1995, capping annual increases at local CPI with a 3% floor and 6% maximum. Units built after 1994 that meet state criteria fall under AB 1482 instead. Single-family homes and condominiums sold separately may qualify for exemptions under both laws if the required statutory notice is included in the lease. Croskey tracks these thresholds and notice requirements across every property in our Concord portfolio.

Two BART corridors, one management team

Concord's two BART stations - Concord and North Concord/Martinez - give tenants direct access to Oakland (25-30 min) and San Francisco (50-60 min), producing one of the deepest commuter-tenant pools in the county. We market every Concord vacancy to that demand.

Measure V compliance built in

Concord's 2023 rent stabilization ordinance adds a local compliance layer on top of AB 1482. We track which Concord units are covered under Measure V versus AB 1482, apply the correct annual increase cap, and ensure every lease includes required statutory notices - so you stay compliant without monitoring two sets of regulations yourself.

Full property type coverage

Concord's housing stock spans mid-century SFR, condominiums with HOA boards, newer townhome complexes, and 2-4 unit multi-family buildings. We manage all four types, coordinating with HOAs on condo and townhome rentals and handling common-area obligations on multi-unit buildings.

Real Answers

Concord property management questions

Does Croskey manage rental properties in Concord, CA?

Yes. Croskey Real Estate (DRE #01990430, broker Wolfgang Croskey DRE #01708438) has managed Contra Costa County rentals since 2005, including detached homes, condominiums, townhomes, and multi-unit buildings (2-4 units) throughout Concord. We cover all four Concord zip codes - 94520, 94521, 94518, and 94519 - and all major neighborhoods including Todos Santos, Sun Terrace, Monument corridor, Ellis Lake, Meadow Homes, and areas near both BART stations.

How much does property management cost in Concord, CA?

Our monthly management fee is typically 8-10% of collected rent. For a Concord 3-bedroom renting at $2,600-$3,200 per month, that is approximately $208-$320 per month. A tenant placement fee (half to one month's rent) applies when we fill a vacancy and covers marketing, showings, screening, and lease execution. A lease-only option is available for owners who prefer to handle day-to-day management themselves. Call (925) 336-3282 for a quote specific to your Concord property.

Does Concord have rent control?

Yes. Concord passed Measure V in November 2022, which took effect in 2023 as the Concord Rent Stabilization and Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance. Measure V applies to most rental units built before February 1, 1995. It caps annual rent increases at the local Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a 3% minimum floor and a 6% maximum per year. Just cause for eviction is required for covered tenants. Units built on or after February 1, 1995 are not covered by Measure V but may fall under California AB 1482. Exemptions under Measure V include single-family homes and condominiums sold separately (with required notice in the lease), ADUs attached to owner-occupied dwellings, and government-subsidized housing. Croskey tracks Measure V applicability for every Concord property we manage.

How do Measure V and AB 1482 interact in Concord?

Concord landlords must determine which law covers each property. Measure V applies to units built before February 1, 1995 - these units follow Concord's local rent cap (CPI, 3% floor, 6% max) and just-cause requirements. Units built between 1995 and approximately 2011 that are not exempt from AB 1482 fall under the state law instead, which allows up to 5% plus local CPI (maximum 10%). Units built in the last 15 years (after approximately 2011 as of 2026) are exempt from AB 1482 rent caps entirely, though just-cause protections may still apply. Single-family homes and condos sold separately can be exempt from both laws with proper written notice. Croskey identifies the applicable framework for each property at onboarding and applies the correct annual increase limits and notice procedures.

What makes Concord a strong rental market?

Concord's two BART stations - Concord (direct to Oakland in 25-30 min, SF in 50-60 min) and North Concord/Martinez - give tenants Bay Area commute access that few Contra Costa cities match. Major local employers including John Muir Health System, the Concord Naval Weapons Station redevelopment corridor, and Buchanan Field businesses add non-commuter demand. The housing stock is diverse: mid-century SFR neighborhoods like Sun Terrace and Meadow Homes attract long-term family tenants; BART-adjacent condos and townhomes attract professional singles and couples. A 3-bedroom detached home rents for $2,600-$3,200 per month, below comparable East Bay neighborhoods but well above Pittsburg and Antioch.

What types of Concord properties does Croskey manage?

We manage four property types in Concord: detached single-family homes (our most common), condominiums and HOA-governed properties (we coordinate directly with the HOA board on rental rules, CC&Rs, and move-in/out procedures), townhomes, and 2-4 unit multi-family buildings (we handle common-area maintenance obligations and lease coordination across units). We do not currently manage commercial property, vacation rentals, or buildings with five or more units.

What zip codes and neighborhoods does Croskey cover in Concord?

We manage properties across all four Concord zip codes: 94520 (Downtown, Todos Santos Plaza, Sun Terrace), 94521 (Clayton Valley, Cowell Road, eastern Concord), 94518 (Monument corridor, Ellis Lake, central Concord), and 94519 (Meadow Homes, North Concord BART area). If your Concord property is in a zip code not listed, call (925) 336-3282 - we evaluate boundary cases individually.

How do I get started with Croskey for my Concord rental?

Call (925) 336-3282 or email info@croskeyrealestate.com. We start with a property walkthrough and rent analysis - pulling active comparable listings and recent leases in your Concord neighborhood to establish market rent. We then present a management plan with service options and pricing, no obligation. If you move forward, we execute a management agreement, determine Measure V or AB 1482 applicability for your unit, list within days, and handle everything from tenant screening and lease execution through move-in inspection, rent collection, maintenance, and annual owner reporting.
