Westwood
Neighborhood in Bay Area, California
94558Character-rich Devita homes
The hills of Westwood Hills Park rise over the neighborhood’s low rooflines, and some homes on the west side’s higher elevations have views of the Vaca Mountains to the east. The community’s age can be felt in the established front-yard gardens and shady, tree-lined streets. Minimal traditional houses built in the 1940s and midcentury ranch-styles sit next to the desirable Devita homes, which can be recognized from their low-pitched roofs, large front windows and one-car attached garages. The homes here are smaller than average for the area — between 700 and 1,800 square feet — and have two or three bedrooms. Prices typically range from $540,000 to $1.1 million, with renovated Devita homes costing more.Bilingual immersion at Napa Valley Language Academy
Local kids can start school at the Napa Valley Language Academy, which offers a bilingual program in English and Spanish, and then attend Silverado Middle; both earn a B-minus from Niche. At the B-plus-rated Napa High, students can choose from 25 extracurriculars, including the Film Club and Backpacking Club, and the school’s 350-member choir. Nearby private options include the unrated Veritas Christian Academy for pre-kindergarten through Grade 8, and the A-rated Napa Christian for kindergarten through Grade 12.Hiking in Westwood Hills Park
The 111-acre Westwood Hills Park in the neighborhood’s west has 3-miles of steep trails that are popular for hikers and dog walkers. “You can hike to the top of the hill in about a half hour, and there are big fields and beautiful views of the Valley,” Cline says. Connolly Ranch Education Center near the park is an educational farm where families can learn about sustainable farming and visit with farm animals. The 5-acre Playground Fantastico is just south; its colorful playhouses and climbing structures are a hit with kids. Within the neighborhood, kids can play at Laurel Park, a pocket park on the west side that has a grassy field and a basketball court. Girls between ages 4 and 13 can join the Napa Junior Girls Softball League, which plays in the neighborhood’s northeast.Breakfast at Journey Coffee
Residents can start their day at Journey Coffee, a chic coffee shop serving smoothies, pastries and sandwiches. Andie’s Café is a walk-up lunch counter beside a car wash, where residents can have their cars detailed while enjoying a burger on the patio. For a relaxed night out, Hop Creek Pub has casual bar food and a large selection of craft beer. The upscale restaurants of Downtown Napa are only a mile away. The Napa Premium Outlets in the east include national retailers like J.Crew Factory and Kate Spade Outlet Store. Nearby grocery stores include Browns Valley Market, known for local meat and produce, and Lola’s Market, which makes all its baked goods from scratch.Just west of Highway 29
The neighborhood is bordered east by Highway 29, which leads 14 miles south to Interstate 80, and north to the rest of the Napa Valley. In the neighborhood’s north, 1st Street leads just over 1 mile east to downtown Napa. The Vine bus makes several stops in the neighborhood, and bike lanes and sidewalks make it friendly for cyclists and pedestrians. “It’s very bikeable to downtown,” Cline says. “It takes maybe 10 minutes.” Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center is around 3 miles north. Napa County Airport, a public airport with no commercial flights, is 8 miles south; San Francisco International Airport is 60 miles south, and San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, a smaller airport with mostly domestic flights, is a 52-mile trip.Annual Harvest Festival at Connelly Ranch Education Center
Connolly Ranch Education Center holds regular kid-friendly events and festivals, including October’s Annual Harvest Festival, which has farm-themed crafts and live music. Residents can also head to Downtown Napa for popular events like Friday Nights in the Park, a free summer concert series where local bands play in Veterans’ Park.Wildfire risk and home insurance
While Westwood has a low risk for wildfires, nearby fires may occasionally reduce air quality. Residents can sign up for Nixle emergency alerts to be notified during emergencies. Cline warns that even though Westwood isn’t in a high-risk area, obtaining home insurance can be time consuming and expensive. “Insurance is a big deal right now anywhere in the Valley,” she says. “It can take up to a week before getting coverage. Take your time and get more than one quote on fire insurance.”
