Bay Area submarkets

Healthcare real estate is hyper-local: referral patterns, hospital campuses, and payer mix make each of these markets its own world. Pick yours.

Diablo Valley

Contra Costa County

Walnut Creek, Concord, and Danville, anchored by John Muir Health.

East Bay

Alameda County

Oakland, Berkeley, and the 880 corridor, with Kaiser and Sutter Alta Bates driving medical office demand.

Marin County

San Rafael, Novato, and Corte Madera. Limited supply, high barriers to entry, MarinHealth-centered.

North Bay

Sonoma County

Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and Napa. Larger floorplates and lower rents than the core Bay Area.

Peninsula

San Mateo County

San Mateo through Palo Alto. The Bay Area's deepest medical office corridor, anchored by Stanford Health Care and Sutter.

San Francisco

San Francisco County

Dense urban medical and dental space, concentrated around the UCSF, CPMC, and Saint Francis campuses.

Santa Cruz County

Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, Capitola and Watsonville. A constrained coastal market where medical space rarely comes up, and practices draw from over the hill as well as the coast.

Solano County

Fairfield, Vacaville, and Vallejo. Value-oriented medical space serving fast-growing suburbs.

South Bay

Santa Clara County

San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. High demand for dental and specialty practices serving a growing population.

Tri-Valley

Alameda County

Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, and San Ramon. Newer medical campuses and strong household growth.
