Discovery Bay, CA 118 Apartments for Rent

In 2007, Discovery Bay, California, earned its own ZIP code, 94505, and it celebrated this achievement with a paddle boat raft-up that set a Guinness world record. ZIP-itty-do-dah!

Located in Contra Costa County, boaters can sail from Discovery Bay to the San Francisco Bay, traversing the California Delta waterways where this community is located. Over 13,000 people live in a community that began as a weekend and summer resort spot. With a marina, retail centers, and a well-regarded business park, Discovery Bay is now a great place to work and play. If sailing or serenity is your thing, you'll love it here. If the very idea of waterways makes you put on a life vest, maybe this isn't your place in the central California sunshine.
