Sonoma County's largest city with a mix of suburban neighborhoods and wine-country access

Buying in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa is known as a central hub of Sonoma County wine country and for the legacy of Charles M. Schulz, creator of Peanuts. It combines regional cultural identity with practical access to both local industry and Bay Area connections.

Neighborhood selection in Santa Rosa matters because housing stock, lot patterns, and commute routes vary widely across the city. Buyers generally perform best when they compare submarkets directly instead of relying on citywide averages.
