The city of Sonoma is a pleasant mix of the old and the new.  While grocery stores, fast-food places, and the businesses necessary for the practicality of everyday life are all a part of Sonoma; the heart and soul of downtown Sonoma is the Sonoma Plaza.  The Plaza serves as the community's focal point, hosting a summertime farmers market and events throughout the year, as well as featuring ponds, a playground, and beautiful landscaping.  City hall is also located on the Sonoma Plaza.  The streets surrounding the Plaza are lined with wine and cheese shops, fashionable boutiques, and popular eateries, ranging from casual cafes to award-winning restaurants.

Although Sonoma is popular with tourists who are following the wine trail and foodies who appreciate Sonoma's fine restaurants, it is more than a destination town.  Homes in Sonoma epitomize the casual sophistication of the wine country lifestyle and offer a large variety of architectural styles and sensibilities from original Victorian, Craftsman, and Greek Revival homes to luxurious Mediterranean villas and sleek contemporary homes and condominiums.  Sonoma even features at least one "heritage neighborhood" where HGTV's 2009 Dream Home was built combining traditional Victorian architecture with all the modern amenities today's homeowner is looking for.

Sonoma Homes for Sale

Let’s face it: Wine Country is one of the premier tourist destinations for anyone who loves to eat, drink, and take in some absolutely breathtaking scenery. And while it’s certainly a fabulous place for just about anyone to visit, living amongst the constant hustle-and-bustle of people coming and going doesn’t always make for an ideal place to call home. But on the flip side, if you also can’t seem to get enough of everything Wine Country has to offer from a lifestyle standpoint, other desirable communities exist without the constant flow of visitors, starting with the one-and-only city of Sonoma, California. 

Often referred to as Napa’s charming cousin, Sonoma offers many of the same amenities and attractions as its neighbor to the east, only with fewer tourists and a much more laid back vibe. There are easily just as many wineries in Sonoma as there are in nearby Napa, and the overall atmosphere felt throughout the Sonoma area feels much more suburban that other tourist traps found throughout this part of the state. Sonoma homes for sale also provide easy access to a great school system, numerous outdoor parks, and countless recreational amenities, so it’s easy to see why it remains one of Wine Country’s top places to call home. 

Sonoma, CA Real Estate 

Luxury homes and the city of Sonoma seem to go hand-in-hand, which is hardly surprising for this particular part of Northern California. Sprawling vineyard estates, newly built mansions, and historic houses that haven’t lost an ounce of charm and character over the years dominate the local housing landscape in Sonoma, and most properties here also take full advantage of the stunning natural landscape with spectacular views and outlooks from anywhere inside a home. But as a Wine Country location that only continues to rise in both desirability and popularity, it’s also quickly becoming one of the pricer places to buy a home too. Potential home buyers can reasonably expect most Sonoma homes for sale to start somewhere close to $800,000, while many of its most expensive homes will commonly exceed $5 million. 

Amenities and Attractions in Sonoma 

Vineyards and wineries tend to be the main attraction in just about any city or town in Wine Country, and that’s certainly the case here in Sonoma too. But plenty of places to hike, kayak, swim, or mountain bike are also scattered all throughout the area, making it a great landing spot for anyone who loves to get outside and stay active. Downtown Sonoma is also about as charming as it gets for a small town, especially as you stroll through the downtown plaza or around the town square.
