Submit Your Crockett Photos

Crockett is a friendly community with a small town atmosphere, lively residents, and locally owned businesses ready to serve you. Overlooking the wide Carquinez Strait, bordered by rolling hills and surrounded by park lands, Crockett is a country oasis in the urban San Francisco Bay Area.

Started in 1867 when Thomas Edwards built his Homestead, that is still there, the town is an eclectic mixture of craftsman to modern style homes, with 3,200 residents and families. Crockett is made of old-timers whose families have been there for generations and newcomers who visit one day and immediately decide, "This is the place for us."

The views in Crockett, California are great and residents love to continually make it better. Antique stores, a marina and some restaurants add charm to this small village. Newer homes are located on hills where it is seasonally windy, while older homes are located below.

The freeway splits town. We are located about 15 minutes from Bay Bridge when traffic moves, much longer during peak hours. We have a Regional park going in just east of Crockett. School scores middling plus. Aldo Ray, a movie star, is a famous Crockett native.
