Santa Rosa
Santa
Rosa is located in a long north/south, alluvial
plain stretching from Marin County in the south to
almost Mendocino County in the north. Some of the
world's finest grape growing soils are located in
this region. Wine and dairy ranching dominate
agricultural production with fruit (apples/plums)
also a major product. The Santa Rosa plain is
characterized by open grassland with scattered
stands of oak. Huge Valley Oaks predominate and
numerous varieties of grasses make up the mix.
Urban Santa Rosa is a community located about 50
miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge and 30 miles
to the west is the Pacific Ocean. Santa Rosa is the
County seat and center of trade, government,
commerce and medical facilities for the North Bay
and beyond.
The city maintains a small town environment
despite rapid growth in the last two decades. Santa
Rosa's neighborhoods include a wide variety of
architectural types and styles including many
beautiful older Victorian homes. The weather is
temperate and mediterranean-like. The proximity of
the Sierras provide winter sports less than four
hours drive from the City. The Pacific Ocean is a
short 30 minute drive, which helps to keep summer
nights cool and comfortable.
