The Petaluma area is one of the most desirable places to live within a short drive of the Bay Area. The city of 60,000 residents is large enough to offer just about anything you need but still has that small-town feel to it, and you can easily get in and out of the San Francisco area when you want a taste of the big city.
The Petaluma real estate market is robust, and you will find just about every type of real estate you could ask for. Whether you are looking for a hobby farm or ranch, a condo downtown, a grand old Victorian home, or just a nice house in a good neighborhood Petaluma has something for you.
With its proximity to almost 200 Sonoma County wineries and the Bay Area, Petaluma can also be an ideal spot to invest in a rental property or a bed-and-breakfast. The city is surrounded by parks, wetlands, small lakes, the Petaluma River, and Sonoma Mountain.
This charming, historic town has much to offer anyone looking to relocate or settle down just outside San Francisco, and with today’s economy there are a number of properties to fit any budget. From classic California bungalows to well-kept mid-century ranch homes to farm houses and contemporary homes in new developments, Craftsman-style houses and sprawling estates with pools and equestrian facilities, the Petaluma real estate market offers a variety of architectural styles in a beautiful setting.
Petaluma’s mild year-round climate, historic charm, and proximity to the big city and the wine country of Sonoma County make it one of the hottest real estate markets in California. If you are looking to relocate and have California in mind, look no further. You won’t find the culture, history, architecture and charm that Petaluma offers anywhere else.
