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.

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.
