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.

Hillside living with condos, townhouses and single-family homes

Original 20th-century Craftsman and Art Deco homes sit in the northern part of Vallejo Heights. Single-family homes also include French, Spanish and Adobe-style homes, ranging in price from $350,000 to $600,000. Residences are well-cared for with modest lawns and landscaping. Sidewalks wind through the neighborhood, dotted with mature trees. The Vallejo Heights Neighborhood Association formed in the 1970s and has served the community ever since; it hosts events like potluck dinners and organizes community cleanups. A mixture of homeowners and renters live in Vallejo Heights. Multifamily housing, condos and townhouses are more common in the southern part of the neighborhood, although a gated condo community called the Lighthouse sits on its north side. Multifamily homes cost between $400,000 and $722,000. Condos run between $220,000 and $400,000, and townhouses range from $375,000 to $530,000.

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.

Large or small, Vallejo parks are all around

Sheveland Park is a circular micro-space occupying less than an acre at the end of Coghlan Street. It includes a baseball field and a playground. Terrace Park is more extensive: it also offers a playground and ballfield, picnic tables, barbecue grills and off-street parking. Cyclists can use the San Francisco Bay Trail, a bike path that parallels Highway 37 heading northeast across the marshland. Locals can walk dogs on River Park’s flat, unpaved trails along the Napa River, and the neighborhood sits next to the Vallejo Municipal Marina, where people can keep their boats.

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.
