The Keys is a mid-rise condominium complex in Walnut Creek completed in 1972, composed primarily of one-bedroom residences arranged across several low- to mid-rise buildings. Architecturally conventional for its era, the development emphasizes courtyard-focused site planning with mature landscaping, ponds and water features that create a park-like setting across roughly 22 acres. Interiors are a mix of original and updated units; typical layouts include an open living/dining zone, a breakfast/eating area, one bedroom with walk-in closet options in some plans, and private outdoor decks or terraces for upper-floor homes. Shared facilities center on a large, renovated clubhouse with lounge spaces, a library/TV room, billiards, and meeting areas; fitness resources include a gym, racquetball court, sauna and locker rooms. Outdoor recreation is extensive: three swimming pools with spas, four lighted tennis courts, basketball and putting areas, horseshoe pits, and miles of walking paths linking to the Iron Horse Trail. Practical amenities include secured elevator access in select buildings, covered garage parking with assigned spaces, additional storage rooms, and on-site car wash areas. Pet policies and specific service contracts vary by sub-association. Located within walking distance of BART, downtown Walnut Creek, and major freeways, the community supports a suburban-resort lifestyle with strong school access and commuter convenience.
