Near Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center

Beard’s central location in Napa puts it close to Highway 29, a major hospital and Trancas Street, one of the city's biggest shopping hubs. “The nice part about Beard is when you walk to the right, you have Nob Hill Foods and CVS; to the left, you have Safeway and Starbucks. Everything is right there,” says Heli Sairanen, a broker associate with Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley who’s sold homes in Napa for 48 years. Residents can also walk to Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center, which is one of the city’s biggest employers, as well as medical offices in the neighborhood’s north. Nearby houses of worship include Iglesia Adventista Hispana de Napa and The Rock Church. Downtown Napa is 2 miles south, and Highway 29 provides easy access to the rest of the Napa Valley.

Green space at O’Brien Park

There aren’t any large parks in Beard, but kids can get some playtime in at the small playground on the corner of Main Street and Montclair Avenue. For green space, residents can head to the 9-acre O’Brien Park, less than a mile from the neighborhood. Beard’s central location puts it within 2 miles of the city’s most popular parks, including the 10-acre Oxbow Commons downtown, the 33-acre Trancas Crossing Park by the Napa River and the 157-acre Alston Park, which has an off-leash dog park and hiking trails with vineyard views. The 47-mile Napa Valley Vine Trail goes through the neighborhood; cyclists can take the trail southeast to downtown or head north to Calistoga.

The Fourth of July Celebration draws crowds to Oxbow Commons for live music, kids’ activities and a drone light show.

Shopping options on Trancas Street

The shopping centers along Trancas Street in the neighborhood’s north make up one of the city’s major shopping hubs. The big-box stores here, including Target and Outdoor Supply Hardware, make running errands easy. There are also several grocery stores, like Trader Joe’s, Safeway and Whole Foods Market. For a casual night out, Trancas Steakhouse has been a local staple since 1999. “It’s kind of a neighborhood watering hole,” says Monica Cline, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley who’s sold homes in the area for 18 years. “They have a bar area and do karaoke nights.” Frida’s Mexican Grill is another spot to find locals enjoying happy hour or chatting at the bar. National chains like Panera Bread and Starbucks are also nearby. For upscale dining and shopping, Downtown Napa is 2 miles south.

Noise from the Napa Valley Wine Train

The Napa Valley Wine Train, a vintage sightseeing train that makes daily trips north from downtown, passes through the neighborhood a couple of times a day; while some residents may not appreciate the train’s whistle, others enjoy waving to the conductor as it passes by. “Some people absolutely love it,” Sairanen says. “The train has a kind of muted whistle, and it goes very slowly so it doesn’t disrupt the neighborhood.” Nearby Highway 29, Trancas Street and Jefferson Street can also cause noise in the neighborhood.

While Beard itself has a low risk of wildfires, residents might occasionally experience reduced air quality from nearby fires. The last major wildfires in the area were the Glass Fire and LNU Lightning Complex in 2020, which burned areas to the north. Residents can stay fire-aware by signing up for Nixle alerts.
