Martinez Overview

Ideally situated on the southern banks of the San Francisco Bay Area,  Martinez is a charming slice of west coast life known around the globe for its assortment of antique shops and historic structures. Effortlessly melding a welcoming vibe with plenty of amenities and nightlife options, this is one California hot spot well worthy of discovering. 

What is the history of Martinez?

Established thanks to the gold rush of the 1800s, Martinez saw its first post office open in 1851. The first oil refinery of the region was established in 1904, with several others coming to fruition in years following. Shell Oil remains a constant in the city, and through the years Martinez has evolved into a popular tourism spot, known for arts and crafts manufacturing as well as quaint retail shops.

How is the weather in Martinez?

Prone to morning sea fog, Martinez apartments make a great option for those eager to enjoy that famous California weather. Sunshine is a constant, with summers often impressively hot, and winters generally mild with only very occasional frost. 

How do I get around town?

Bus service is widespread thanks to a number of local carriers, including WestCAT and Tri Delta Transit, making Martinez rentals ideal for those lacking a personal vehicle. Some BART Rail can be found within the city limits, with Amtrak offering more extensive routing, including transfers all the way to Chicago. Bicycling remains popular in the city as well, with ride sharing options and taxis a constant presence also.

What is the Martinez commute like?

State Route 4 offers passage east towards Nevada, while Interstate 680 runs over the Benicia-Martinez Bridge north towards upper California. Connections via Interstate 80 help drivers reach San Jose and other points south, and by the large traffic tends to move smoothly around the city proper. Still, this is California, and those commuting to San Francisco and beyond should allow a bit of extra time to reach their destinations on most work days.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'East Bay Times' and the 'Martinez Tribune' are both popular print periodicals in the city, with the 'Martinez News Gazette' yet another hot read. Those residing in Martinez apartments can enjoy much in the way of broadcasting options, thanks to a myriad of affiliates within the greater San Fan region, and radio tends to be a pleasant mixture of top 40 hits, modern rock, and talk radio formats.

Why live in Martinez, CA?

With a population of just under 35,000, rentals in Martinez are an ideal way to enjoy intimate, welcoming California life at its best. Home to an assortment of employers in both the oil and health care fields, as well as lauded schools that consistently make the grade, this idyllic west coast hot spot is a popular choice for many, from working class young professionals to on-the-go families. Top it off with some of the best scenery on the west coast, and you have a hometown worth bragging over!

What Martinez landmarks should I see?

The Muir Trestle stands tall at over 1,000 feet, an instantly-recognizeable ficture of the city, and the Contra Costa County Courthouse boasts some truly impressive architecture if that's your thing. The John Muir House is one of the oldest in the city at well over a century, and the Bay Area Ridge Trail remains an ever-popular landmark among those living in Martinez apartments for rent.

What is there to do around Martinez?

Auto enthusiasts will want to check out the Cobra Museum, home to many classic renditions of the car, and cocktail fans will endoubtedly make a journey to see the plaque honoring the first martini, both within sipping distance of many Martinez apartments. Waterfront Park melds scenic views with old time locomotives, and the Martinez Museum is the perfect place to get to know your new city better.

Any annual festivals or Martinez events to know?

Art in the Park is a hit every summer, with bragging rights up for grabs each June when the King of the County BBQ Competition rolls into town.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Try your luck with a weekend at the nearby California Casino, or head south to the fishing and beaches of San Diego, both reached with ease from a number of rentals in Martinez. Reno and the rest of Nevada are also within driving distance, complete with epic stage shows and plenty of live music options.

Where is the best place to move in Martinez?
