Steady growth since the 1800s
Set in Downtown Santa Rosa, the very-walkable West End neighborhood lies between the 101 and the Santa Rosa Creek Trail, anchored by the Railroad Square Historic District. The area has a history dating back to the late 19th century when it was a major hub for the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, bringing homes and shops to downtown by the early 20th century. Today, new developments like the Cannery project promise more growth, with 129 affordable apartments in the first phase of development and the proposed SMART Village project planning to add up to 500 residences (a win for San Francisco commuters). “It's rare to find homes in Sonoma County for a price range like this - $600,000 is a steal!" says Julio Caceres, a Santa Rosa-based Realtor with Luxe Places International Realty. "But, as with any place, there's good with the bad - and in this case, the bad is that the area has seen some car theft issues in the past, but the local task force has been quick to respond and address the problem.”
Railroad Square is a popular attraction for restaurants in West End Santa Rosa.
West End Santa Rosa is known for Railroad Square and the historic buildings.

Living in a preserved historic district
Low white picket fences and sidewalks sit in front of historic homes, inviting a leisurely stroll. The wide streets have an open, unshaded feel, lined with small front yards and smooth sidewalks, and the occasional hum of traffic on the 101 can be heard in the distance. Living in downtown, it's common to see folks walking their dogs or taking a short walk to the nearby shops. The neighborhood features a mix of small cottages and bungalows, built between the 1880s and 1940s, with no two homes, trees or bushes alike. Today, these well-cared-for homes exude a laid-back, front-porch vibe, where residents know and greet each other. With prices ranging from $600,000 to $850,000, most homes here have been a part of a preserved historic district since 1996, with the Cultural Heritage Board reviewing any changes that property owners might make.

SONCATT takes down vehicle theft operation
The neighborhood scores an overall CAP score of 6 out of 10, surpassing the national average of 4 out of 10. This score is driven by notably high rates of motor vehicle and burglary theft in the area. In response to this issue, the Sonoma County Auto Theft Task Force (SONCATT) was formed to combat auto theft and related criminal activity. As of Spring 2024, SONCATT has made significant progress, including multiple arrests and the dismantling of a Chop Shop operation suspected to be a major contributor to local car theft.
