Homewood, CA

Homewood is a city located in Contra Costa County, California. The population was estimated to be at around 30,000 people in 2013. It is located in the eastern part of the Bay Area and is adjacent to Pittsburg and Antioch.

The city was founded by Franklin M. Smith and his wife, Flora, in 1887. They named it after their home town of Homewood, Alabama. The first buildings were constructed on what is now known as Franklin M. Smith Park and the first post office opened in 1888. The city grew slowly at first because there wasn't much available for purchase or construction within its boundaries. However, with the development of the railroad system into the area and an influx of new residents, Homewood began to rapidly grow during the late 1800s and early 1900s. By 1910, it had reached its current population of over 1,000 people.

Today, Homewood is still a relatively small city but has seen significant growth over the past few decades due to its proximity to major metropolitan areas such as San Francisco and Oakland as well as its many amenities and attractions such as Franklin M. Smith Park which features a large lake and numerous recreational facilities including a basketball court and tennis courts among others

Real estate in Homewood can be classified into two main categories: commercial real estate which includes properties used for businesses such as restaurants or stores while residential real estate refers to properties used for housing purposes such as apartments or homes

Commercial real estate in Homewood tends to be more expensive than residential real estate because it typically contains more features that make it more desirable for businesses such as larger spaces or access to parking However, residential real estate also offers some advantages over commercial real estate including greater flexibility when it comes to choosing a location since most homes are not restricted by business hours or restrictions on how many employees can work inside them Additionally, since most homes are single-family units rather than complexes with multiple buildings like commercial properties tend to be, they tend to have less competition from other buyers which can result in higher prices In addition to these general trends there are also specific factors that can influence prices differently depending on the type of property being sold For example, land values are generally higher near major transportation hubs such as highways or train stations while prices for apartments near universities tend to be higher than those near other types of businesses

Homewood has seen significant growth over recent years due mainly to its proximity both geographically (it's located close enoughto BART stations)and economically (the Bay Area has been experiencing strong economic growth recently)to major metropolitan areas like San Franciscoand Oakland .
