The Keys is a low- to mid-rise condominium complex in Walnut Creek originally completed in 1972. Comprised primarily of one-bedroom units laid out across multiple connected buildings, the development features varied stacked and garden-style massing with broad walkways and extensive planting across roughly 21 acres. Interiors typically include eat-in kitchens, vaulted or high ceilings in some units, laminate or vinyl plank floors, updated cabinetry and quartz or solid-surface counters in renovated kitchens, and a mix of private outdoor spaces such as balconies, patios and occasional private roof decks. Common facilities emphasize a resort-like recreational program: three outdoor pools (one heated year-round), spas, full fitness room with showers and lockers, saunas and steam rooms, tennis and basketball courts, racquetball courts in some listings, clubhouse with event kitchen and media/game rooms, billiards and ping-pong, plus community laundry, car wash area and secure lobby access. Grounds incorporate ponds, streams, waterfalls, walking bridges and direct private access to the Iron Horse Trail, creating a park-like environment. Parking arrangements include surface and some covered/underground options; storage lockers are available for many units. The HOA covers multiple utilities and on-site maintenance; pet policies and parking specifics vary by unit. Location is a short walk to downtown Walnut Creek, BART, shopping, restaurants, and regional freeways, making the complex oriented to commuters and amenity-seeking residents.
