How we clean Walnut Creek
Nothing else in this part of the county has apartment towers, and they set the tempo of the downtown work. A condominium off Broadway Plaza usually comes with a loading dock, a freight elevator that has to be booked, a certificate of insurance filed with the management company, and a fixed window during which vendors may be in the building. None of that is difficult. All of it has to happen before arrival rather than while a crew stands in the lobby.
Rossmoor is a world of its own again: a large 55-plus community of mostly single-level units, many under fifteen hundred square feet, where the entrance has a procedure and residents usually prefer the same cleaner each time rather than whoever is free. Push west and north of the freeway and you are back among detached houses — Parkmead ranches, hillside homes above Walnut Heights, the bigger lots near Heather Farm Park.
The housing stock in Walnut Creek
There is no single local house. Downtown condominiums run 700 to 1,600 square feet with hard floors, floor-to-ceiling glass and a balcony that funnels road dust indoors. Rossmoor units are small, single-level and often carpeted throughout, with grab bars and fixtures that want a gentle hand. The detached stock in Northgate and Saranap is 1950s-to-1980s ranch and split-level, 1,500 to 2,600 square feet, with mature planting pressed right up against the windows. Room-count quoting keeps those three categories honest against one another.
