Exploring Southeast Santa Rosa: Neighborhoods, Parks, and Local Life

In this week’s video, I’m taking you on a tour of Southeast Santa Rosa—from the peaceful neighborhoods of Bennett Valley and Annadel Heights to the tree-lined streets near Montgomery Village.

But before diving into the real estate, I take a moment to share something that many newcomers ask me about: What actually drives Santa Rosa’s economy—and what does that mean if you’re thinking about moving or investing here?

You’ll get a clear snapshot of the city’s major industries, from healthcare and manufacturing to local food production and wine, plus a few surprises about how steady job growth continues to strengthen our housing market.

Then we’ll explore the neighborhoods that make Southeast Santa Rosa such a special place to live—beautiful homes, top-rated schools, local parks, and that perfect balance between city convenience and country calm.

If you’re considering buying or selling in Santa Rosa or anywhere in Sonoma County, I’d love to chat about your goals and help you understand how local market and economic trends might shape your next move.

Warmly,
