The Keys is a low- to mid-rise condominium complex in Walnut Creek built in 1972, composed primarily of one-bedroom units and occasional two-bedroom layouts clustered across multiple garden-style buildings. Architectural character reflects 1970s suburban-resort planning: stepped massing around landscaped courtyards, broad walkways, and covered parking beneath or adjacent to buildings. Interiors typically feature modest footprints with eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, living rooms that open to private patios or balconies, and sizable bedroom closets; many units have been updated over time with new kitchens, baths, flooring, and dual-pane windows. Shared facilities are extensive and organized like a resort: multiple pools and spas, several tennis courts, a large 5,000-square-foot clubhouse with recreational rooms (billiards, theater, lounge), fitness center, saunas, racquetball/basketball courts, putting green, and lakes/ponds within the grounds. Parking is assigned covered spaces plus visitor parking, with additional resident storage rooms and on-site coin laundry or floor-based laundry rooms. Grounds are heavily landscaped with walking paths and direct access to the Iron Horse Trail; the complex sits within walking distance of Walnut Creek BART, downtown retail and dining, and major freeway corridors. The HOA typically includes utilities such as water and trash and enforces community rules; pet and rental policies vary by unit and should be confirmed with management.
