Alta Heights
Up Valley views
For views of Downtown Napa and the Napa Valley, Alta Heights is the place to be. “It’s a small bluff on the east side of Napa, just at the edge of city limits,” says Gary Rose, a sales associate with Golden Gate Sotheby’s who grew up in Napa. “It has a winding road that takes you to the top, and the homes there have beautiful views of Napa and Up Valley toward St. Helena.” Downtown Napa is within walking distance of most homes, and the overall CAP Index Crime Score here is 3 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. The Silverado Trail in the neighborhood’s west connects to the rest of the Napa Valley.
Alta Heights
Custom-built homes on top of the bluff
The top of the bluff is known as Montecito Heights, and the curvy, two-lane Montecito Boulevard and spacious lots give the area a rural feel. The custom-built homes here are designed with large porches and huge windows to take in the views of the Napa Valley. A three-bedroom Mediterranean-inspired home can start at $1.4 million, while a four-bedroom 21st-century modern house with Napa Valley views can cost $4.1 million. On the lower part of the bluff near downtown, minimal traditional, midcentury modern, and Craftsman-inspired homes sit close together along gridded streets. Sloped yards are large enough for a single-car driveway and ornamental tree. According to Rose, these homes typically range from 1,000 to 1,400 square feet. A two-bedroom minimal traditional near downtown can start at $630,000, while a three-bedroom midcentury modern home can cost $1.7 million.
Napa High School is a public high school.
Join the jazz band at Napa High
Local kids can start at Alta Heights Elementary, which earns a B-plus from Niche, then attend the B-minus-rated Silverado Middle. The B-plus-rated Napa High is known for its choir and instrumental music programs. Singers can join one of six ensembles in the school’s 350-member choir, and musicians can learn an instrument in the orchestra or jazz band. Private options include the A-rated Napa Christian for kindergarten through Grade 12 and the B-plus-rated Kolbe-Trinity School for transitional kindergarten through Grade 12.

Visit Bob the Rhino at Oxbow Preserve
The 2-acre Esther Deaver Park in Alta Heights’ center is a popular place for neighborhood kids to play together on the jungle gym. At the 7-acre Lakeview Park in the southeast, dog owners can take their pups for a half-mile walk around the lake, where they might see geese or deer. Residents can also take a stroll at the 13-acre Oxbow Preserve in the west, where they can wander along the Napa River floodplain in search of Bob the Rhino, a rhinoceros statue along the trail. Golfers can join the Napa Valley Country Club, 2 miles east of the neighborhood, which has a par-72 course, as well as a pool, tennis program and bocce league. Nearby houses of worship include Napa Valley Korean Seventh-Day Adventist Church and Creekside Church Napa.
Alta Heights
Dry-aged beef at Cole’s Chop House
“It’s a 10- to 20-minute walk to Downtown Napa,” Rose says, “but it’s a hard walk back because it's up the hill.” The Oxbow Public Market is a popular marketplace downtown with cafes and local vendors. For a night out, locals head to Cole’s Chop House, a traditional steakhouse known for its 21-day dry-aged beef. “It’s a classic,” Rose says. “You feel like you’re inside of a winery.” Angèle Restaurant and Bar is popular for its upscale French menu and riverfront patio. Residents can sample Napa Valley wines at several wineries to the neighborhood’s east, including Shadybrook Estate Winery and Tulocay Winery. Fresh produce is available each Saturday at the year-round Napa Farmers Market downtown, and nearby grocery options include Nob Hill Foods and Raley’s.
Alta Heights
Along the Silverado Trail
The Silverado Trail is in the neighborhood’s west, and East Avenue passes through its center. Downtown Napa is a short trip across the river on 1st Street. The Vine bus stops along East Avenue. Dedicated bike lanes and low-speed residential streets make the area bike-friendly. While there are few sidewalks, many residents enjoy walking downtown or taking strolls with their dogs. Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center is 2 miles northwest. Napa County Airport, a public airport with no commercial flights, is 7 miles south; San Francisco International Airport is 58 miles south, and San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, a smaller airport with mostly domestic flights, is a 51-mile trip.
Music and wine at BottleRock
The Napa Valley Expo, to the neighborhood’s southwest, hosts some of the area’s largest events. Over 100,000 people come out for BottleRock, a three-day music festival with famous acts like Stevie Nicks, Pearl Jam and Queens of the Stone Age. The festival also highlights Napa’s food and wine with booths from some of its most famous restaurants. At the Napa Town and Country Fair each August, families can check out local agricultural displays and carnival rides.
Flood risk near the river
The Tulocay Cemetery in the neighborhood’s south has served as Napa’s final resting place since 1859. Residents can visit departed loved ones or take a self-guided tour of the cemetery’s historical sites. The Napa County Historical Society also hosts monthly walking tours during the summer.Homes west of the Silverado Trail are in a Special Flood Hazard Area and can flood when the Napa River breaks its banks; residents here are advised to purchase flood insurance. The last flood was in 2005 before the Napa River Flood Project built floodwalls to reduce the risk. Alta Heights is at risk for wildfires, and residents here are likely to experience reduced air quality during nearby fires. The last major wildfires in the area were in 2020, when the Glass Fire and LNU Lightning Complex burned areas to the north and east. Residents can sign up for Nixle emergency alerts to be notified during emergencies.
