The suburban-rural quadrant
Located 55 miles from San Francisco, Sonoma County’s Santa Rosa is divided into four directional quadrants, and Northwest Santa Rosa is its most affordable. “It’s one of the few places in Sonoma County where you can get a house for less than 700,000,” says Carl Balsillie, longtime Santa Rosa resident and Broker Associate with W Real Estate. “The same amount of space would cost over a million in Healdsburg or even the Northeast area.” Residents here live in the heart of Wine Country, with the Mayacamas Mountains as a backdrop and Laguna de Santa Rosa to the far west; the Pacific Ocean is 40 minutes west, and the Napa Valley is 45 minutes east.
Northwest Santa Rosa is a beautiful wooded suburban neighborhood with a spectacular view.
Northwest Santa Rosa extends out to the Laguna De Santa Rosa wetlands near Sebastopol.

Coffey Park offers brand new homes
The center of town has a densely packed, suburban feel, while heading west, the neighborhood takes on a more rural vibe, with properties spaced farther apart on larger lots. Ranch-style homes from the 1970s and contemporary farmhouses from the late ‘80s-early ‘90s typically go for around $650,000 when set on mid-size lots; those set on lots of a half-acre or more go for upwards of $750,000. In Coffey Park, a western subdivision of sapling-planted cul-de-sacs that was completely rebuilt after the Tubbs Fire of 2017, contemporary Craftsman-style homes from the 2020s range from $800,000 to $900,000. The central Lincoln Manor is one of Santa Rosa's most affordable subdivisions, with single-family homes averaging $350,000; near the central Bicentennial Park, mobile homes and condos go for about $250,000.

Located across the street from Piner High, the dog-friendly Youth Community Park on Fulton Road spans 74 acres, complete with a skatepark and horseshoe pits. The 35-acre Northwest Community Park offers a bike pump track (a track that requires no pedaling or pushing), as well as picnic tables and a playground surrounded by pines and redwoods.
Kids love the Children's Museum of Sonoma County for its interactive exhibits like Mary’s Garden, Ella’s Art Studio and the Science & Imagination gallery. Beloved annual events here include the Halloween-themed Funtazmagoria, when the museum becomes a glow-in-the-dark mad scientist lab; and The Great Train Days, when model railroad enthusiasts create a sprawling outdoor set for kids to explore. Another family-friendly museum is the Charles M. Schulz, dedicated to the Peanuts comic creator who lived in Santa Rosa from 1969 until his death in 2000. The museum features a 100-seat theater playing Charlie Brown TV specials, and life-size statues of Peanuts characters in the backyard garden. For more Snoopy-themed activities, the indoor Redwood Empire Ice Arena (also known as Snoopy’s Home Ice) has been a beloved community hub since it was opened by the Schulz in 1969, offering public skating and junior hockey.
