Located at the crossroads of Antioch, Oakley, and Brentwood near the Laurel Road and Highway 4 interchange in Antioch, Sagecrest offers residents the space, privacy, and functionality of a traditional home combined with the flexibility and convenience of professionally managed rental living.
As the first purpose-built townhome rental community of its kind in the submarket, Sagecrest is designed to serve a growing population of renters seeking more room to live, work, and raise families, as well as households who desire the lifestyle of a single-family home but are not yet ready to pursue homeownership.
“Sagecrest reflects the evolving housing needs of today’s residents,” said Charles McKeag, BrightSky California Division President. “Many households want more space, privacy, and flexibility than a traditional apartment can offer, but they may not be ready, or may simply choose not, to take on the financial commitment and responsibilities of homeownership. Sagecrest meets this demand with thoughtfully designed townhomes that deliver many of the benefits of a single-family home in a professionally managed rental community.”
The community features 216 two- and three-bedroom townhomes ranging from approximately 939 to 1,500 square feet. Each residence includes a private front patio, attached two-car garage with direct access, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl-plank flooring, smart home technology, and contemporary finishes throughout.
Residents will also enjoy a collection of lifestyle-oriented amenities designed to foster connection and convenience, including a pool and spa, neighborhood clubhouse with lounge and kitchen, outdoor gathering spaces, EV charging stations, and pet-friendly recreation areas. Professional on-site management and maintenance services provide a lock-and-leave lifestyle that eliminates many of the ongoing responsibilities associated with homeownership.
Positioned in one of the fastest-growing areas of East Contra Costa County, Sagecrest offers convenient access to employment centers, schools, recreation, and shopping, dining, and entertainment options throughout Antioch, Oakley, and Brentwood. The community is located near BART service and major transportation corridors, providing connectivity to the broader Bay Area while maintaining close proximity to the amenities and outdoor recreation opportunities that define the region.
“Sagecrest represents BrightSky’s commitment to expanding housing options in high-growth markets,” McKeag added. “We believe there is significant demand for communities that offer the comfort and functionality of a home with the flexibility that renting provides. Sagecrest delivers that opportunity in one of the East Bay’s most dynamic and rapidly growing corridors.”
Pre-leasing is now underway at 6015 Country Hills Drive, with leasing office hours Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM. To schedule a tour, call (855) 819-6205 or visit www.sagecresttownhomes.com for more information.
