A tree-filled suburb only 2 miles from downtown
Despite its name, Browns Valley is filled with greenery, from parks to vineyards and hiking trails. Kids riding their bikes down tree-lined cul-de-sacs are a common sight. “Browns Valley is a real family community,” says Stephanie Gibson, an associate broker at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty who’s lived in Napa for 43 years. “If you're going to have kids, that’s where you go.” The neighborhood’s highly rated elementary school is within walking distance of most homes, and Downtown Napa is only 2 miles away. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Cul-de-sacs and big backyards
“You can get a pretty good value relative to other places in Napa,” says Bart Moore, a Realtor with Compass who grew up in Napa, “meaning you can probably get more square footage and a nice backyard with a lawn and pool." Along the tree-shaded residential streets here, homes here are mostly ranch-style and split-level homes built after 1960, though some 2000s Craftsman-inspired new traditional homes are also available; quarter-acre lots allow for paved driveways and manicured front yards. A three-bedroom ranch-style home can start at $726,000, while a five-bedroom new traditional can cost $2.5 million.

Private options include the A-plus-rated Justin-Siena High and the unrated St. John’s Lutheran School for pre-kindergarten through Grade 8.

Local produce at Browns Valley Market
The centrally located Browns Valley Market is more than a local grocer. “It’s like a country store where you get all local fruits, vegetables, and breads,” Gibson says. “The original family still owns the market, and they have their own meat department with a great deli. It's what Whole Foods would like to be.” Other neighborhood grocery options include Lucky and Trader Joe’s. Next door to Browns Valley Market, Browns Valley Yogurt & Espresso Bar is where locals go for a cup of coffee or frozen yogurt after exploring the neighborhood’s parks. For a relaxed night out, Hop Creek Pub is popular for its large selection of craft beer and BLT sandwiches piled with bacon. The Napa Premium Outlets to the south include national retailers like J.Crew Factory and Levi’s Outlet Store.

Nixle alerts for wildfire emergencies
Browns Valley is at risk for wildfires, but residents here are more likely to experience reduced air quality from nearby fires than any direct effects.

Residents can sign up for Nixle emergency alerts to be notified during emergencies.
