Situated about 45 miles from San Francisco and almost directly in between Santa Rosa and Petaluma, Cotati is widely considered to be one of the more desirable small towns to call home in all of Sonoma County. With a population of over 7,000 people, there’s certainly plenty to see and do around the heart of downtown, and Cotati’s hexagonal downtown plaza is just one of two cities in the entire U.S. with this sort of unique layout, with Detroit being the other. Officially, Cotati is actually labeled as the smallest incorporated town in Sonoma County in terms of population, but most people who already live here love that the community has maintained such a high level of charm and character over the years.
The Cotati real estate market is about what you would expect from a small wine country town and there’s hardly ever a shortage of quaint little cottages and bungalows listed near the downtown plaza that can be a terrific entry-level option for buyers with a tight budget. Further outside of town is where you’ll find larger farmhouses or even lots of open land that can act as an intriguing option if you’re looking to build your dream house from the ground up. In recent years, new construction has also picked up a bit here, but vintage homes that have been updated or remodeled are certainly more commonplace than something that was just recently built. While market conditions will always fluctuate, look for most houses for sale in Cotati to start somewhere in the mid-$500,000s, while some of the more expensive homes will typically top out at just over $1 million.
Old Redwood Highway acts as Cotati’s primary commercial thoroughfare, which is where you’ll find the bulk of Cotati’s small businesses, restaurants, bars, and cafes. A number of small city-maintained parks also dot Cotati’s downtown landscape, and Sonoma State University is just a short drive up the street even though its address is technically in Rohnert Park. If you like to golf, the Foxtail Golf Club is also just a short drive away, and of course being in Sonoma County, you’ll also have the luxury of being just minutes from countless wineries and vineyards, which is perfect for any serious wine connoisseur.
