The U.S. Navy Airfield turned neighborhood
In the Wright Area Action Group neighborhood, stretching farmlands meet modern subdivisions. Also referred to as Southwest Santa Rosa, this suburban community is located atop a former U.S. Navy airfield. Remnants of the landing strip are still evident here, but the hum and rattle of idling airplanes subsided after it permanently closed in 1991. These days, Wright Area offers a quiet atmosphere, neighborhood parks and easy access to public schools.
“There’s new construction blended in with ranch style-single story homes,” says Aaron Pardo, a real estate agent with Compass. “There’s a lot of new construction at the center, but a lot of people want that area if they’re looking for land.”
This pocket of the city is a more affordable alternative to other Santa Rosa communities, which Pardo says is another attraction. There are also townhouses, shopping and dining on main roads such as Sebastopol, so buyers can experience rural, urban or suburban living depending on where they decide to settle.
Homes in the Wright Area Action Group are surrounded by beautiful pastures.

Rural, suburban and urban living meet
Ranch-style homes sit on several acres on the outskirts of Wright Area, such as Ludwig Avenue and South Wright Road. These homes are generally fixer-uppers and need some love, but Pardo says they’re worth the investment. Prices can range from $325,000 to $600,000 for a home on one acre to upwards of $1 million for a newly renovated option on several acres.
“They’re quiet, large parcels of land to grow gardens and raise animals,” he says. “You might have to put some money into the home over time, but you can always make improvements on a home. One thing you can never change is lot size.”
A mix of newly constructed homes and duplexes line the other residential roads. Modern traditional, contemporary split-levels and craftsman homes are typical at the center of the neighborhood. They usually sit on small plots of land and feature short, wide driveways and sidewalks out front. Backyards are usually hidden by tall wooden fences, providing privacy despite the small lot sizes. There are also townhouses and flats on main roads, such as Stony Point Road, providing space for the 42% of Wright Area residents who rent. These sell between $550,000 and $750,000.
The Wright Area Action Group is a pleasant neighborhood for residents and their pets.
