Hilltop community with waterfront views
The Vallejo Heights neighborhood has always been known for its hilltop views. Originally a wheat farm owned by early resident William Carter, Vallejo Heights became a laid-out neighborhood at the turn of the 20th century. Many homes were built between the 1920s and the 1940s, looking towards the San Pablo Bay, Vallejo and Napa. Residents are close to hiking trails on nearby Mare Island and the Napa River waterfront. Just 2 miles from downtown Vallejo and 35 miles from San Francisco, the neighborhood offers easy access to shopping centers and major highways.
Many Vallejo Heights homes have a view like this one looking toward North Vallejo.

A day on the waterfront and a night at the Mira Theatre Guild
The Vallejo Waterfront Weekend is a free festival held annually on the first weekend of October. Ferry tours, live music and local food and craft vendors entertain locals and visitors at the festival, which also includes a rowing race called the Whaleboat Regatta, a classic car show and tournaments for disc golf, martial arts and cornhole. The festival is less than 2 miles south of the neighborhood, just down the road from the Vallejo Yacht Club. The yacht club is one of only seven on the West Coast to reach 100 years old. It hosts the Great Vallejo Race each year, the largest inland sailboat race in the nation.
Since World War II, Vallejo Heights has been home to the Mira Theatre Guild. This local community theatre has fostered community and creativity for generations while maintaining an affordable space for local performers to use. Its recurring events include drum circles, jazz jams and poetry nights.

All in a day’s commute: Vallejo Ferry and Highway 37
Vallejo is a transportation and commuter hub for the North Bay region. “In 2020, Vallejo was known as the last affordable city in the Bay area,” says Rachel Mau, third-generation Realtor who specializes in the Vallejo and Benicia markets. “It was considered the number two hottest market during COVID because of the affordability. To live in Solano County is to pay a fraction of the price of San Francisco for those who work remotely, or just go in once a week.” The nearby Vallejo Ferry Terminal offers daily service to San Francisco and a seasonal route to Oracle Park for Giants’ games. “For commuters, the ferry is a huge draw – you can get to downtown San Francisco in under an hour with the turbo ferry,” Mau says.
Alternatively, Highway 37 also connects Vallejo Heights to the surrounding areas; this road encircles the western half of San Pablo Bay. Highway 37 connects to Interstate 80, which extends south to San Fransisco. Drivers can head 36 miles down I-80 to get to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. County buses stop throughout the neighborhood, transporting passengers to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and downtown Vallejo. Vallejo Kaiser Permanente Hospital is less than 2 miles away.
