to avoid any confusion, i'm not asking about OJ simpson's place

i found some nice-looking houses (200-400K range) in this area near antioch. is this a nice place to raise kids? we are looking for a place with a nice public school (doesn't have to be the best out there, average scores are good enough) where kids don't go around carrying guns. are there also nice parks near the area and a mall? we work in the healthcare field so hospitals, clinics, nursing facilities or any medical centers within bearable driving distance would be good. if anyone can give dish the good and bad about this area, i'd highly appreciate it. thanks!

The only high school that scores decently for Bay Area standards in Brentwood is Heritage High School, and all of its feeder middle and elementary schools should be fairly decent as well. Shockingly, Deer Valley in Antioch scored fairly well, but has MAJOR problems in student discipline, though this year it has slipped enough points to be considered as a not-so-good institution in secondary education by CA standards.

Where will you work in the Bay Area? There are other cities in that price range that I recommend depending on how far it is from your future place of employment.

My family and I will be relocating to the Contra Costa County shortly. We are looking to buy a house in Brentwood. Can anyone help me with the following questions?
1. What's the approximate commute time to Antioch? And to Pleasant Hills? At 7am and 5pm
2. What is the air quality like? Let me explain, I'll be moving from the central San Joaquin Valley. There are days when the air smells like poop... literally. There are many fields close by and they use "organic" fertilizers... the air is stagnant and the quality horrible. Any problems like that in Brentwood? Windy? Dusty?
3. I know summer is hot, but do you often go past 100F. Where I'm at right now, we have about a month above 100F and about 2 weeks at around 105F-112F.
4. And for all you gardeners out there, how do your plants do in the weather?
5. Any areas to avoid in Brentwood?

Thank you!!
